  The form for implementing the game machine concerning this invention is demonstrated below based on embodiment. Although a pachinko gaming machine is shown as an example of a gaming machine, the present invention is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine, and may be another gaming machine such as a coin gaming machine or a slot machine, and an advantageous gaming state advantageous to a player. Any gaming machine can be used as long as it can be transferred to.

  First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1 that is an example of a gaming machine will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 as seen from the front. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a circuit configuration on the main board. In the following description, the front side in FIG. 1 will be described as the front (front, front) side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the back side will be described as the back (rear) side. The front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a facing surface that faces the player when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the player side. In the description of each step in the flowchart, for example, a portion described as “step S1” may be abbreviated as “S1”.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine and shows an arrangement layout of main members. A pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as a gaming machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. It consists of. The game board 2 is formed with a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails. In the game area, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and hit.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example of FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). As shown in FIG. 14, the first special symbol display device 4 </ b> A is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 8-segment LED) capable of variably displaying (also referred to as variable display) a plurality of types of first special symbols. . Similarly, the second special symbol display device 4B is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 8-segment LED) capable of variably displaying (also referred to as variable display) a plurality of types of second special symbols. That is, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are configured to be capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of display symbols shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are eight digits that the CPU 103 outputs to the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. It consists of 8 segments, 7 segments A to G that can display numbers and symbols according to output data expressed in binary numbers, and a segment H that shows decimal points (dots). Each segment A to H is turned on and off. By combining these, 256 patterns of display symbols can be displayed. As will be described later, it is possible to variably display 22 patterns of display patterns (see FIG. 15 to FIG. 28) from pattern 0 to pattern 21 having different display modes among the combinations of these 256 patterns. Further, wirings extending from the main board 11 side are connected to the segments A to H of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and in the output data output by the CPU 103, each segment is connected. If the value of the corresponding digit is “1”, the segment is turned on, and if the value of the digit corresponding to each segment is “0”, the segment is turned off. That is, whether or not each segment in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is lit is connected to the output data output from the CPU 103 and the segments A to H from the main board 11 side. Determined by the wiring pattern.

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". .

  The type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same (for example, both symbols), but the types may be different. In addition, display symbols are applied as an example of identification information that can identify each of them. However, for example, numbers such as 0 to 9, 00 to 99, letters such as alphabets, symbols, and the like may be used. May be a different design or number.

  In addition, it was configured to display various types of special symbols in a variable manner. However, as a result of the variable display, if any one of a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified is derived and displayed, a plurality of types of special symbols are not necessarily identified. Even if the information is not variably displayed, for example, any one of a plurality of types of identification information may be variably displayed. In other words, the variable display is not only a display that sequentially displays a plurality of types of identification information, but also, for example, changes the display mode of one identification information (repeating display and non-display, changing the shape and color, etc. ).

  The first special symbol and the second special symbol are each composed of a single-digit special symbol. However, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be composed of, for example, a combination of two or more digits.

  For the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start condition or the second start condition which is the execution condition of the variable display is satisfied (for example, the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A described later) Or, after the game ball has won the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B), the variable display start condition (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the first special symbol and The second special symbol variation display is not executed, and the big hit game is not executed) is started, and when the variation time elapses, the display result (definite stop symbol) is displayed. Derived display. Winning means that a game ball has entered a predetermined area such as a winning opening. Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

  As shown in FIG. 1, an effect display device 5 capable of variably displaying (also referred to as variable display) an effect symbol is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The effect display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and a display area for displaying various effect images is formed. In the display area of the effect display device 5, it corresponds to each of the variation display of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A and the variation display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game, For example, in the effect symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions of three, effect symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information (decoration identification information) that can be identified are variably displayed. The variation display of the effect symbol is also included in the variation display game.

  In the display area of the effect display device 5, effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right” are arranged. Corresponding to the start of either the first special symbol variation in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol variation in the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game. In the “middle” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, variation display (for example, vertical scroll display) of effect symbols (also referred to as decorative symbols) is started. Thereafter, when the confirmed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display result in the special symbol game, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the effect display device 5 A definite effect symbol that is a result of variation display of the effect symbol is derived and displayed.

  As described above, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the special game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the special special game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. In synchronization with the game, a plurality of types of effect symbols that can be identified are displayed in a variable manner, and a definite effect symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). For example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols is to stop display of identification information such as effect symbols (also referred to as a complete stop display or a final stop display) and end the variable display. On the other hand, during the variation display from the start of the variation display of the production symbol to the display of the definite production symbol that is the variation display result, the variation rate of the production symbol becomes “0”, May stop and be displayed, for example, a display state that causes slight shaking or expansion / contraction may occur. Such a display state is also called a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not deterministically displayed, the player can recognize that the variation of the effect symbol due to the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include a complete stop display of the effect symbol for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing a slight shaking or expansion / contraction.

  For example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or Chinese numerals) are displayed in the variation symbols displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” production symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Or a combination of English characters, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, numbers, letters or symbols and character images, and character images may be, for example, people, animals, objects other than these, or It may be a decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or other arbitrary figure. A corresponding symbol number is attached to each of the effect symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are assigned to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. The production symbols are not limited to eight types, and any number may be used as long as an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that is lost can be configured (for example, seven types or nine types).

  From the start of the variation display of the effect symbols, until the finalized effect symbol that is the variation display result is derived and displayed, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R , For example, scroll display is performed such that the symbol number sequentially flows from the smallest to the largest, and when the effect symbol having the largest symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed, The effect symbol having the smallest symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, the “left” effect symbol display area 5L, etc.), the symbol number is scrolled from the largest to the smallest, and the symbols are displayed. When the effect symbol having the smallest number is displayed, the effect symbol having the largest symbol number may be displayed.

  A first reserved storage display area 5D and a second reserved storage display area 5U are set in two places on the left and right of the display area of the effect display device 5. In the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U, hold memory display for displaying the variable hold memory number (special figure hold memory number) corresponding to the special figure game in an identifiable manner is performed.

  Here, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special game is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). In other words, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing the variable display game such as the special figure game or the variable display of the effect symbol is established, but the variable display game based on the start condition established previously is being executed. When the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done. The reserved memory display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) through the first start winning opening is a round white display, and the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening. Similarly, the stored storage display generated based on the start winning is a round white display.

  In the following description, the first reserved memory display area 5D and the second reserved memory display area 5U may be referred to as a reserved display area, and the number of reserved memories is the first reserved memory display area 5D and the second reserved memory display area 5U. It can be recognized by the number of hold storage displays displayed on the screen. Further, a display in which the hold storage display is gathered may be referred to as a hold display.

  Whether the hold display in the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U is generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening, The display mode (for example, display color and shape) may be varied depending on whether the game ball is generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the starting winning opening. “Execution” and “execution” are synonymous.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first hold for displaying the number of special figure hold memories in an identifiable manner on the upper and lower parts of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B together with the hold memory display area. A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The number of first special figure hold memory is the number of memory in which the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended. The second special figure hold memory number is the number of memories in which the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended. The variable display holding memory number obtained by adding the first special figure holding memory number and the second special figure holding memory number is also referred to as a total holding memory number. When simply referring to the “number of special figure hold memory”, it usually refers to a concept including any of the first special figure hold memory number, the second special figure hold memory number, and the total hold memory number. It may refer to a concept that includes the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number but excludes the total reserved memory number).

  In addition, the effect symbol variation display is executed in synchronization with the special symbol variation display. However, when the effect display device 5 is used for the effect display, for example, the effect content including the effect symbol variation display is displayed on the screen. In recent years, there have been diversification of production modes such as an effect that disappears for a moment or an effect that a movable object blocks all or part of the screen. For this reason, even if the display area on the effect display device 5 is viewed, it may be difficult to recognize whether or not it is currently in a variable display state. Therefore, for the purpose of eliminating the difficulty of recognizing whether or not the current variation display state is present, the fourth symbol after the effect symbol, the special symbol, and the normal symbol is displayed on the effect display device 5. A 4 symbol display area may be provided. These 4 symbols are displayed in the 4th symbol for the first special symbol in synchronization with the variation display of the first special symbol, and for the second special symbol in synchronization with the variation in the second special symbol. It is sufficient to display the variation of the 4th symbol. The 4th symbol is always variably displayed with a constant operation and does not disappear from the screen or is not shielded by a shielding object, so that it can always be visually recognized.

  Below the effect display device 5, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) that is always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B has an electric motor having a pair of movable blades that are changed into a normal open state that is a vertical position and an enlarged open state that is a tilt position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG. A tulip-shaped accessory (ordinary electric accessory) is provided, and a second starting prize opening is formed as a starting region (second starting region).

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the OFF state, so that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening. It is difficult to open normally. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening (entrance) by tilt control in which the movable blade piece is tilted when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the ON state. ) Easy to expand. In the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even in the normal open state, there is a possibility that the game ball may enter more than in the expanded open state. You may comprise so that it may become low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B may be configured so that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening in the normally open state, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening. In this way, the second start winning port as the second start area is in an expanded open state in which game balls easily pass (enter) and in a normally open state in which game balls are difficult to pass (enter) or cannot pass (enter). To change.

  The game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by, for example, the first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. A game ball that has passed (entered) a second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by, for example, a second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4 )), The first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4 )), The second start condition is satisfied. The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A and the prize ball to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B. The same number may be sufficient as each other, and a different number may be sufficient as it.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a special winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door shown in FIG. 2, and the specific region that changes between an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. As a big prize opening.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize opening door is in the OFF state, the special prize opening door closes the big winning prize opening, and the game ball passes (enters) the big winning prize opening. Make it impossible. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is in the ON state, the big winning opening door opens the big winning opening and the game ball passes through the big winning opening (entrance). ) Make it easier. In this way, the special winning opening as a specific area changes into an open state in which a game ball easily passes (enters) and is advantageous to the player, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enters) and is disadvantageous to the player To do. Instead of the closed state where the game ball cannot pass (enter) through the big prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially opened state where the game ball hardly passes (enters) the big prize opening may be provided.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) through the big prize opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. Thus, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening that has been opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, the gaming ball passes through other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More prize balls are paid out than when passing (entering). Therefore, if the special prize winning device 7 is opened in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, the game ball can enter the special prize winning opening, which is a second state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the special prize winning device 7 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to get a prize ball by passing (entering) the gaming ball into the special prize winning port. This is a disadvantageous first state.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment or dot matrix LEDs, etc., and displays normal symbols (also referred to as “normal” or “normal”) that are different types of special information. Display variable (display variable). Such a normal symbol variation display is referred to as a general game (also referred to as a “normal game”).

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general-purpose hold indicator 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general-purpose hold storage number as the number of effective passing balls that have passed through the passage gate 41.

  In addition to the above configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. Also, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening and the large winning opening, for example, a single or a plurality of general winning openings which are always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member are provided. May be. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as prize balls based on the fact that a game ball that has entered one of the general prize openings is detected by a predetermined general prize ball switch. . In the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an out port through which game balls that have not entered any winning port are taken.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 is provided at the periphery of the game area. A decorative LED may be arranged around each structure (for example, the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7, etc.) in the game area of the pachinko gaming machine 1. A hitting operation handle (operation knob) operated by a player or the like to launch a game ball as a game medium toward the game area is provided at a lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3. For example, the hitting operation handle adjusts the resilience of the game ball according to the operation amount (rotation amount) by the player or the like. The hitting operation handle only needs to be provided with a single shot switch or a touch ring (touch sensor) for stopping the driving of a shooting motor included in the hitting ball shooting device.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a game ball paid out as a prize ball or a game ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be supplied to a ball hitting device. An upper plate (a hit ball supply tray) is provided. A lower plate that holds (stores) surplus balls overflowing from the upper plate so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided at the lower part of the frame 3 for the gaming machine.

  The stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by the player is attached to the member that forms the lower plate, for example, at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower plate body (for example, the central portion of the lower plate). Yes. The stick controller 31A includes an operation stick that the player holds, and a trigger button is provided at a predetermined position of the operation stick (for example, a position where the index finger of the operator is placed when the player holds the operation stick). The trigger button can be operated in a predetermined direction by performing a push / pull operation with a predetermined operation finger (for example, an index finger) while the player holds the operation stick of the stick controller 31A with an operation hand (for example, the left hand). What is necessary is just to be comprised. A trigger sensor that detects a predetermined instruction operation by a push-pull operation on the trigger button or the like may be built in the operation rod.

  A controller sensor unit 35 </ b> A for detecting a tilting operation with respect to the operating rod may be provided inside the lower plate body or the like below the stick controller 31 </ b> A. For example, the controller sensor unit includes two transmissive photosensors (parallel sensor pair) arranged in parallel to the board surface of the game board 2 on the left side of the center position of the operation pole when viewed from the player side facing the pachinko gaming machine 1. ) And two transmissive photosensors (vertical sensor pairs) that are arranged on the right side of the center position of the operation rod when viewed from the player side and perpendicular to the surface of the game board 2. What is necessary is just to be comprised including the sensor.

  The member that forms the upper plate includes, for example, a push button 31B that allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the upper plate body (for example, above the stick controller 31A). Provided. The push button 31 </ b> B may be configured to detect a pressing operation from the player mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically. A push sensor 35B that detects a pressing operation by the player on the push button 31B may be provided inside the main body of the upper plate at the position where the push button 31B is installed.

  Further, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter also simply referred to as “card unit”) as a recording medium processing device that enables lending a ball by inserting a game card made of a recording medium such as a prepaid card is a pachinko gaming machine. 1 (not shown). A player can lend a game ball by inserting a game card in which information capable of specifying a balance (game value) is inserted into a card unit and performing a predetermined lending request operation. The rented game balls are supplied into, for example, the upper plate and can be used for games. The gaming card inserted into the card unit becomes ready to be removed and returned to the player in response to a predetermined return operation when the player finishes the game.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, in order to execute the normal symbol variation display on the normal symbol display 20 that the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the game area has been detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. The normal symbol display 20 uses the normal symbol start condition for starting the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, for example, that the previous general symbol game has ended after the normal symbol start condition is satisfied. The usual game starts.

  In this ordinary game, after a normal symbol change is started, when a predetermined time which is a normal symbol change time elapses, a fixed normal symbol which is a normal symbol change display result is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol), for example, a number indicating “7” is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the fluctuation display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per ordinary symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol, such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, for example, the variation display result of the normal symbol is “ordinary loss”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is “per normal”, the enlargement / opening control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. When the predetermined time elapses, normal opening control for returning to the vertical position is performed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, the last time after the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A in FIG. The special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied due to, for example, the completion of the special symbol game or the big hit gaming state. Further, after the second start condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second start opening switch 22B in FIG. For example, the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, because the previous special symbol game or the big hit gaming state has ended.

  In the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, after the special symbol variation display is started, when the variation display time as the special symbol variation time elapses, the special symbol variation display is performed. The resulting definite special symbol (special diagram display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big bonus symbol is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, “ It will be “losing”. Note that a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol may be stopped and displayed, and when the predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) as a result of the predetermined display is stopped and displayed. What is necessary is just to control to the small hit game state as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the control to shift to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times is performed. Is done. Thus, the big hit gaming state is an advantageous gaming state that is advantageous to the player.

  After the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as the final stop symbol in the special symbol game and becomes the “big hit” as the specific display result, in the big hit gaming state, the big winning entrance door of the special variable winning ball device 7 has a predetermined upper limit time. The grand prize opening is opened in a period until (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls is generated. Thereby, the round which makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 the 2nd state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  A special prize-winning ball device that receives a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the big prize-winning slot, with the grand prize-winning door that has opened the grand prize-winning port during the round. 7 is changed to the first state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. The round that is the opening cycle of the big prize opening can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15” or the like). Even before the number of rounds reaches the upper limit, the execution of the rounds may be terminated when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball has not won a big prize opening).

  Of the rounds in the big hit gaming state, the round in which the upper limit time during which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the second state (open state) advantageous to the player is relatively long (for example, 29 seconds) is normally opened. Also called round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time for which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the second state (open state) is relatively short (for example, 0.1 second) is also referred to as a short-term open round.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the effect display device 5, a special game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and In response to the start of any of the special symbol games using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B, the variation display of the effect symbols is started. The period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbols to the end of the variation display due to the stop display of the confirmed effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R Then, the variation display state of the effect symbol may be a predetermined reach state.

  The reach state refers to an effect design (also referred to as “reach variation design”) that is not yet stopped when the effect design that is stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination. Is a display state in which the fluctuation continues, or a display state in which all or part of the design symbols change synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, a part of the “left”, “middle”, “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5R, etc.) is predetermined. The remaining effect symbol display area (for example, “medium” effect symbol) that has not yet been stopped when the effect symbol (for example, the effect symbol indicating the alphanumeric character “7”) constituting the hit combination is stopped In the display area 5C, etc., the display state in which the effect symbols are fluctuating, or the effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R are all or part of the combination The display state changes in synchronization while constituting all or a part of the above.

  In response to the reach state, the variation speed of the effect symbol is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person) different from the effect symbol is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. Or change the display mode of the background image, play and display a moving image that is different from the production symbol, or change the variation mode of the production symbol, so that the production operation different from before reaching the reach state is executed May be. Such an effect operation such as a display of a character image, a change in the display mode of a background image, a playback display of a moving image, and a change in a change mode of an effect design is referred to as reach effect display (or simply reach effect). In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the effect display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9, and the like are in the reach state. An operation mode different from the previous operation mode may be included.

  As an effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. Each reach mode has a different possibility of “big hit” (also referred to as “expected degree” or “big hit expected degree”). That is, it is possible to vary the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” depending on which of the multiple types of reach effects is executed.

  As an example, as shown in FIG. 5, reach forms such as normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β are set in advance. And when the reach form of super reach called super reach α and super reach β appears, there is a possibility that the fluctuation display result will be “big hit” compared to the case where the reach form of normal reach appears (expected degree of big hit) Becomes higher. Furthermore, in the reach form of super reach called super reach α and super reach β, when super reach β appears, the big hit expectation degree that the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” is greater than when super reach α appears. High (expectation of big hit: super reach β> super reach α> normal reach).

  As will be described later, in the reach, the variation time is set such that super reach β> super reach α> normal reach (see FIG. 5), and the greater the variation time, the higher the expectation of jackpot.

  During the variation display of the production symbol, unlike the reach production, there is a possibility that the variation display state of the production symbol will be the reach state, and that the variation display result may be a “hit” A variable display effect such as “sliding” or “pseudo-continuous” for informing the player in accordance with the variable display mode or the like may be executed. It is only necessary to determine whether or not these “sliding” and “pseudo-continuous” variation display effects should be executed in response to the variation pattern being determined on the main board 11 side. Whether or not the “slip” variation display effect is executed on the side of the effect control board 12 may be determined regardless of the variation pattern determined on the main board 11 side.

  During the variation display of the effect symbol, unlike the reach effect or the variable display effect such as “slip” or “pseudo-ream”, for example, a predetermined effect image is displayed, a message image display or sound output, a lamp There is a possibility that the variation display state of the production symbol will reach the reach state due to the production operation different from the variation display operation of the production symbol such as lighting, or the reach production by the super reach may be executed. In addition, a notice effect may be executed to notify the player in advance that the variation display result may be a “big hit”. The effect operation that becomes the notice effect is the change display state of the effect symbol after the effect symbol display is started in all of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Anything may be executed (started) before the reach state is reached (before the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R). Further, the notice effect that informs that there is a possibility that the variation display result may be a “hit” may include one that is executed after the variation display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state.

  The notice effect may include a hold display notice effect. The hold display notice effect is based on the change in the display mode such as the hold display of the special figure game before the start of the change display subject to the advance notice that the possibility that the change display result will be a “hit” This is a suggested announcement. In particular, the effect of continuously notifying the possibility that the result of the variable display will be a “big hit” over the variable display of the effect symbol that is executed multiple times in response to multiple special drawing games is a continuous notice effect (continuous It is also called production. While the special figure game is executed once, the effect design is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then the effect display for changing the effect design again (pseudo continuous change, re-change) is performed a predetermined number of times. In a game machine that performs a “pseudo-continuous” variable display effect that makes it appear as if the variable display is being executed, the result of the variable display may be a “big hit” over a plurality of pseudo display of the variable display. A notice effect for continuously notifying the above is also included in the continuous notice effect (continuous effect).

  When a special symbol that is a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol is changed to the reach state after the production symbol variation display is started. Instead, the finalized design symbol that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display mode of the effect symbol is referred to as a “non-reach” (also referred to as “normal loss”) variable display mode when the variation display result is “losing”.

  When a special symbol that becomes a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol becomes the reach state after the production symbol variation display is started. Correspondingly, after the reach effect is executed, or the reach effect is not executed, the confirmed effect symbol that becomes a predetermined reach-losing combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display result of the effect symbol is referred to as a variation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach lose”) when the variation display result is “losing”.

  When the big win symbol corresponding to the non-probable variable big hit, which will be described later, is stopped and displayed as a special bonus symbol in the special figure game, the change display state of the production symbol has reached the reach state. Correspondingly, after a predetermined reach effect is executed, a definite effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as “non-probable variable big hit combination”) among a plurality of types of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed. It should be noted that the non-probable big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as the confirmed effect symbol without the reach effect being executed.

  The confirmed effect symbol that is a normal jackpot combination (non-probable variation jackpot combination) is, for example, a symbol that is variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the effect display device 5. Among the effect symbols with numbers “1” to “8”, any one of the effect symbols whose pattern numbers are even numbers “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” are “left”, “middle” As long as each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R on the right side is stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line. The effect symbols having the even number “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” constituting the normal jackpot combination are referred to as normal symbols (also referred to as “non-probable variation symbols”).

  Corresponding to the fact that the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game becomes the normal jackpot symbol, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, the finalized symbol of the normal jackpot combination (non-probable variable jackpot combination) is stopped and displayed. The variable display mode is referred to as a variable display mode (also referred to as “big hit type”) of “non-probable change” (also referred to as “normal big hit”) when the variable display result is “big hit”. A normal jackpot combination (non-probable variation jackpot combination) may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed performance symbol without the reach effect being executed. Based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” in the “non-probable change” big hit type (non-probable change big hit A, non-probable change big hit B, non-probability variable big hit C, which will be described later) After completion, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time reduction control, the special symbol change display time (special figure change time) in the special figure game is shortened compared to the normal state. In the short-time control, as will be described later, so-called electric chew support is performed in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency to the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. Here, the normal state is a normal game state that is different from a specific game state such as a big hit game state, etc., and is an initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed, after the power is turned on) The same control as in the state in which the initialization process is executed is performed. The short-time control is executed when a special game is executed a predetermined number of times (either 100 times, 50 times, or 20 times) after the end of the big hit gaming state, and the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit”. When such a condition is satisfied first, it may be terminated.

  As a special symbol to be confirmed in the special figure game, among the special symbols that become jackpot symbols, when the jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation jackpot described later is stopped and displayed, the variation display state of the production symbol has reached the reach state. Corresponding to the above, after the reach effect similar to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “normal (non-probable change)” is executed, a definite effect that becomes a predetermined probability change big hit combination among a plurality of types of big hit combinations Symbols may be stopped and displayed. Note that the probability variation jackpot combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect symbol without executing the reach effect. The confirmed effect symbol that is a probable big hit combination has symbol numbers “1” to “1” that are variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the effect display device 5. Among the effect symbols of “8”, the effect symbols whose pattern numbers are even “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” and odd numbers “3”, “7” that normally constitute a jackpot combination are “ In each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right”, they are stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line. Among these, the effect symbols having the symbol numbers “3” and “7” constituting the probability variation jackpot combination are referred to as probability variation symbols.

  Regardless of whether the confirmed effect symbol is a normal jackpot combination or a promiscuous jackpot combination, the variation display mode in which the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game will have a "big hit" variation display result. This is referred to as a variation display mode of “probability variation” (also referred to as “big hit type”). In the "probable variation" jackpot type (probability variation jackpot A, probability variation jackpot B, probability variation jackpot C, which will be described later), based on the fact that the variation display result corresponding to the probability variation jackpot as a definite special symbol is "big hit," After the completion of the control, probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with time reduction control.

  By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the fluctuation display result (special display result) becomes “big hit” in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. The probability variation control may be terminated when the condition that the variation display result is “big hit” and the game is controlled again to the big hit gaming state after the big hit gaming state is completed. Similar to the time reduction control, when the special game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times the same as the time reduction number or 90 times different from the time reduction number) after the end of the big hit gaming state, the probability variation control is ended. May be. Further, the probability variation control may be terminated when it is determined that there is a certain probability variation fall in the probability variation falling lottery executed every time the special game is started after the big hit game state is ended.

  When the time reduction control is performed, the normal symbol display unit 20 controls the normal symbol in the normal symbol game so that the variation time of the normal symbol (ordinary symbol variation time) is shorter than that in the normal state. Control to improve the probability that the display result is “per normal figure” than in the normal state, and tilt control of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “per normal figure”. The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening by controlling the tilt control time for performing the game to be longer than that in the normal state and increasing the number of tilts compared to that in the normal state. Control (electricity support control) that is advantageous to the player by increasing the possibility that the start condition is satisfied is performed. In this way, the control that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening in accordance with the time-shortening control and is advantageous to the player is also referred to as high opening control. As the high opening control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined.

  By performing the high opening control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening is in the expanded opening state is higher than when the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second starting condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B can be easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. The time until the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” is shortened. The period during which the high opening control can be performed is also referred to as a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time reduction control is performed.

  A gaming state in which both the short time control and the high opening control are performed is also referred to as a short time state or a high base state. The gaming state in which the probability variation control is performed is also referred to as a probability variation state or a high probability state. A gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is also referred to as a high probability high base state. Note that although the game state to be controlled is not set, the probability variation state in which only the probability variation control is performed and the short-time control or the high opening control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. Further, only the gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is sometimes referred to as a “probability variation state”, and may be referred to as a time variation probability variation state in order to be distinguished from the high probability low base state. On the other hand, a probability variation state (high accuracy low base state) in which only time variation control is performed and time reduction control or high opening control is not performed may be a probability variation state without time reduction control in order to distinguish it from a high accuracy high base state. . The short time state in which the short time control or the high opening control is performed without performing the probability variation control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability variation control, the time reduction control, nor the high opening control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. When at least one of the time-shortening control and the probability variation control is performed in a gaming state other than the normal state, the probability that the special-purpose game can be executed frequently and the fluctuation display result in each special-purpose game becomes “big hit” As a result, the player is in an advantageous state. A gaming state advantageous to a player different from the big hit gaming state is also referred to as a special gaming state.

  When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the game state is not changed after controlling to the small hit game state described above, and the game state before the change display result is “small hit” is continued. Control is sufficient.

  The re-lottery effect may be executed during the variation display of the effect symbol in which the confirmed effect symbol becomes a non-probable variation jackpot combination or a probability variation jackpot combination. In the re-lottery effect, after the effect symbols that are normally a big hit combination are temporarily displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R on the effect display device 5, for example, “left “Middle” and “Right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R with the same effect symbols in the same state are varied again, and the effect symbol (probability variable symbol combination) that becomes a probability variable big hit combination and the normal jackpot combination One of the production symbols (ordinary symbols) to be stopped is displayed as a final production design (final stop display). Here, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the big hit type is “non-probable change”, as the re-lottery effect, the confirmed effect symbol that becomes the normal jackpot combination after re-changing the temporarily stopped effect symbol It is sufficient that a re-lottery selection effect for deriving and displaying is performed. On the other hand, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the big hit type is “probable change”, as the re-lottery effect, after the re-variation of the temporarily stopped display effect symbol, the definite effect that becomes the probable big hit combination A re-lottery winning effect that stops and displays a symbol may be executed, or a re-lottery winning effect may be executed.

  After a definitive effect symbol that is a normal jackpot combination (non-probable variation jackpot combination) is derived and displayed, at the start of the jackpot gaming state or during the execution of a round in the jackpot gaming state, one of the rounds ends in the jackpot gaming state Probability notification of whether or not to control to the probabilistic state in the period from the start of the next round to the start of the next round, the period from the end of the final round in the jackpot game state to the start of the next variable display game, etc. A promotion effect during the big hit may be executed. Note that a notification effect similar to the jackpot promotion effect may be executed during the first variable display game after the end of the jackpot gaming state. The jackpot promotion effect that is executed after the last round in the jackpot game state is particularly called “ending promotion effect”.

  In the jackpot promotion effect, there is a jackpot promotion promotion effect that informs that there is a promotion that the game state becomes a probable change state even though the confirmed effect pattern is usually a jackpot combination, and that there is no promotion that becomes a probable change state There is a promotion promotion failure during the jackpot to be notified. For example, in the jackpot promotion effect, the effect symbol is variably displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 and either the normal symbol or the probability variation symbol is stopped and displayed as the effect display result, or the effect symbol variation display is What is necessary is just to alert | report so that a player can recognize the presence or absence of the promotion which will be in a probability change state by displaying a different production | presentation image.

  Various types of control boards such as a main board 11, an effect control board 12, an audio control board 13, and a lamp control board 14 are mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is also equipped with a relay board 15 for relaying various control signals transmitted between the main board 11 and the effect control board 12. In addition, various boards such as a payout control board, an information terminal board, a launch control board, and an interface board are disposed on the back surface of the game board 2 and the like in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  The main board 11 is a main-side control board on which various circuits for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are mounted. The main board 11 is mainly addressed to a sub-side control board composed of a random number setting function used in a special game, a function of inputting a signal from a switch or the like disposed at a predetermined position, and an effect control board 12 and the like.

This is a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern (variation time) of a symbol or the like. Here, XXH indicates an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the instruction content by the effect control command. In the variation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set according to the variation pattern to be designated.

  The command 8C0YH is a change display result notification command, and is an effect control command for designating a change display result such as a special symbol or effect symbol.

In addition, in the jackpot end designation command, it is possible to specify which of a plurality of types of jackpot end effects (for example, effects with different performance times) as will be described later with reference to FIG. 10 by using a plurality of types of EXT data. is there. In the jackpot start designation command and jackpot end designation command, for example, EXT data similar to the variable display result notification command is set, so that different EXT data is set according to the pre-determined result or the jackpot type determination result. Also good. Alternatively, in the jackpot start designation command or jackpot end designation command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type decision result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result notification command. . In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after the opening of the big winning opening, different EXT data corresponding to, for example, the number of round executions (for example, “1” to “15”) in the normal opening big hit state or the short-term opening big hit state. May be set.

  The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A and a start winning (first start winning) has occurred. The first start opening prize designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing the special figure game using the first special figure on the first special symbol display device 4A is established. The command B200H indicates that a game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second start opening switch 22B and a start winning (second start winning) has occurred. Based on this, the second start opening prize designation command is used to notify that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure on the second special symbol display device 4B is established.

  The command B5XXH is an effect control command for notifying the remaining number of time reductions (number of fluctuations), and by setting EXT data corresponding to the remaining number of time reductions (number of fluctuations), the remaining number of time reductions (Variation count) is notified.

  The command C1XXH is a first reserved memory number notification command for notifying the first special figure reserved memory number so that the special figure reserved memory number can be specified in the first reserved memory display area 5D or the like. The command C2XXH is a second reserved memory number notification command for notifying the second special figure reserved memory number so that the special figure reserved memory number can be specified in the second reserved memory display area 5U or the like. The first reserved memory number notification command is, for example, when a first start opening winning designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the first starting condition is satisfied by passing (entering) the game ball through the first starting winning opening. , Transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second reserved memory number notification command is used when, for example, the second start opening winning designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening and the second start condition is satisfied. , Transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In addition, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command are used when the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the reserved memory number decreases). It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution.

  Instead of the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command, a total reserved memory number notification command for notifying the total reserved memory number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command for notifying an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number may be used.

  The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101 for storing a game control program, fixed data, and the like, and a game control work. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 that provides an area, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103 that executes a control program by executing a game control program, and updates the numerical data indicating random numbers independently of the CPU 103 A random number circuit 104 to perform and an input / output port (I / O) 105 are provided.

  As an example, the game control microcomputer 100 executes a process for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing a program read from the ROM 101 by the CPU 103. At this time, the CPU 103 reads out fixed data from the ROM 101, the CPU 103 writes various fluctuation data in the RAM 102, temporarily stores the fluctuation data, and the CPU 103 temporarily stores various data in the RAM 102. Fluctuation data reading operation for reading variation data, receiving operation in which the CPU 103 receives input of various signals from the outside of the game control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105, and CPU 103 for the game control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105 A transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the device is also performed.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 4, on the main board 11 side, a random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, a random value MR2 for jackpot type determination, a random value MR3 for variation pattern determination, and a general display display result determination Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 is controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. Such random numbers used to control the progress of the game are also referred to as game random numbers.

  The random number circuit 104 only needs to count numerical data indicating part or all of these random number values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, for example, a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 shown in FIG. Numerical data indicating a part of MR4 may be counted.

  The random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random value used for determining whether or not to control the big hit gaming state with the fluctuation display result of the special symbol or the like in the special figure game as “big hit”. It takes a value in the range of “1” to “65536”. The random number MR2 for determining the big hit type is “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, “non-probable big hit A”, “ This is a random value used to determine either “non-probability variable big hit B” or “non-probable big hit C”, and takes a value in the range of “1” to “100”, for example.

  The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random value used to determine a variation pattern in the variation display of the special symbol or the effect symbol as one of a plurality of types prepared in advance. For example, “1” to “ It takes a value in the range of “997”.

  The random number value MR4 for determining the normal figure display result is used for determining whether the fluctuation display result in the normal figure game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per normal figure" or "missing the normal figure". For example, a value in the range of “3” to “13”.

  FIG. 5 shows a variation pattern. Corresponding to each of the cases where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach” and “reach” among the cases where the variation display result is “losing”, and the variation display result is “big hit” A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “losing” and the variation display mode of the production symbol is “non-reach” is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as “non-reach loss variation pattern”). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where is “losing” and the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “reach” is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as “reach loss variation pattern”). Further, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the loss variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “lost”. A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “big hit” is referred to as a big hit variation pattern.

  The big hit fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which a reach reach effect of normal reach is executed and a super reach change pattern in which a reach reach effect of super reach α and super reach β is executed. Although only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach variation patterns such as normal reach α, normal reach β,... Also, in the super reach variation pattern, three or more super reach variation patterns such as super reach γ... In addition to super reach α and super reach β may be provided.

  When the sudden hit is executed, one of the special fluctuations A and B is selected as the special fluctuation pattern that is displayed with a fluctuation time comparable to the loss fluctuation pattern, and the fluctuation is displayed. The fluctuation pattern when the sudden hit is executed may be shorter than the fluctuation display time of the loss fluctuation pattern, or may be as long as the fluctuation display time of the reach fluctuation pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed is set shorter than the super reach α and super reach β that are the super reach fluctuation patterns. Super-reach α and super-reach β super-reach variation patterns are executed for the special reach variation pattern. The special figure variation time is set longer than the variation pattern in which the reach effect is executed.

  As described above, the fluctuation display result is set to “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, so that the big hit expectation is set higher. Therefore, in the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation time is The longer it is, the higher the expectation of jackpot.

  As will be described later, these variation patterns are determined by first determining the variation pattern type, such as a non-reach type, a normal reach type, a super reach type, and the like. The variation pattern to be executed is not determined from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to, but is determined using only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination without determining these types. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random number value for determining the variation pattern type is provided, and after determining the variation pattern type from the random value for determining the variation pattern type, The variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 provided in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 stores various selection data and table data used for controlling the progress of the game. . The ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables and the like prepared in advance for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings. Further, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of types of table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 103 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the main board 11, and a variation pattern as shown in FIG. Table data constituting the variation pattern table is stored.

  FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. As the display result determination table, a common display result determination table is used for the first special figure and the second special figure. However, the display result determination table is not limited to this. When making the first special figure different from the second special figure, separate display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

  The display result determination table is determined as a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the special symbol is derived and displayed, the variation display result is referred to as “big hit” to determine whether or not to control the big hit gaming state based on the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result. It is a table.

  In the display result determination table, depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state, a short-time state (low accuracy state), or a probability variation state (high accuracy state), the special figure display result determination disorder A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the numerical value MR1 is assigned to the special figure display result of “big hit” or “losing”.

  In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value compared with the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is the determination result as to whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as the big hit gaming state. Data for determination to be assigned. In the display result judgment table, when the gaming state is a probable change state (high probability state), a larger number of judgment values than the normal state or the short time state (low probability state) is displayed as a special figure display result of “big hit” Assigned to As a result, in the probability variation state (high probability state) in which probability variation control is performed, the probability that it will be determined that the special figure display result is “big hit” and control is made to the big hit gaming state in the normal state or the short time state (low probability state) Compared to (about 1/300), the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be “big hit” and controlled to the big hit gaming state is higher (about 1/30). That is, in the display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probability variation state (high probability state), there is a probability that it is determined to control to the big hit gaming state compared to the normal state or the short time state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state so as to increase.

  FIG. 7A shows a configuration example of a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table is used to determine the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types based on the random number MR2 for determining the jackpot type when it is determined to control the jackpot gaming state with the special figure display result as “big hit”. It is a table that is referred to. In the big hit type determination table, the special symbol that is displayed in a variable manner in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second special symbol display device 4B). Depending on whether the game is a special figure game), the numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random value MR2 for determining the big hit type is “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, “ It is assigned to a plurality of types of big hit types such as “non-probable big hit A”, “non-probable big hit B”, “non-probable big hit C”, and “sudden big hit”. Note that the “probable big hit” can be selected only in the first special figure, but may be selected in both the first special figure and the second special figure, or may be selectable only in the second special figure.

  Here, the jackpot type will be described with reference to FIG. 7B. As the jackpot type, high probability control (probability variation control) and time-shortening control are executed after the big hit gaming state is finished, and a high probability high base state is achieved. When the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, the probability variation big hit C, the sudden hit big hit, and the big hit gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state, both the high accuracy control and the time reduction control are not executed, and the low accuracy low base state is reached. In addition, the non-probability variable big hit A, the non-probable variable big hit B, and the non-probable variable big hit C, which may be shifted to the low-accuracy and high-base state when only the short-time control is executed, are set.

  As described above, the big hit gaming state by “probable big hit A” and the big hit gaming state by “non-probable big hit A” and “non-probable big hit B” are the second state in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is advantageous to the player. The number of rounds to be changed to 15 is a so-called 15 rounds (so-called 15 rounds), which is a repeated open normal hit big hit. Further, as described above, the big hit gaming state with “probable big hit B” and the big hit gaming state with “non-probable big hit C” have 10 rounds in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is changed to the second state advantageous to the player. This is a normal open big hit that is repeatedly executed (so-called 10 rounds), and the big hit gaming state due to the “non-probable big hit A” is the second state that makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 advantageous to the player as described above. The number of rounds to be changed is five times (so-called five rounds), which is a regular open jackpot that is repeatedly executed. The big hit gaming state by “surprise big hit” is a short-term open big hit that is repeatedly executed twice (so-called two rounds) in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is changed to the second state advantageous to the player.

  In the big hit game, the number of rounds is small (2 times) and the open time of the big prize opening is very short (open for 0.1 seconds) compared to the normal big hit game. When notifying that the probability change state has been reached after the end of the state or the like, it is possible to make it appear to the player as if it has suddenly changed to the probability change state, which is called “sudden probability change big hit”. Further, “suddenly probable big hit” is called “absolute accuracy” or “absolute probability big hit”. In the big hit gaming state, the winning big hit is a hit where the winning for the big winning opening is not obtained and the winning ball is not obtained because the opening for 0.1 second is performed only twice. Further, instead of a sudden big hit, a two-round probable big hit in which a big winning opening is opened in an open pattern in which a winning ball is substantially obtained may be provided.

  In addition to the big hit, a small hit that opens the big winning opening may be provided by an opening pattern based on the number of times of opening and the opening time similar to the sudden big hit. When a small hit is made, after the small hit gaming state, both the big hit probability and the base are not changed from those before the start of the small hit gaming state. If such a small hit is provided, when it is not informed whether or not the probability change state has been made after the end of each hit gaming state of the sudden hit big hit and the small hit, seeing the open pattern, Even if the player recognizes which one has been executed, there are two types of hits with the same opening pattern, so it is difficult for the player to know whether or not it is in a probabilistic state. Can increase the player's sense of expectation of the probability variation state even when the probability variation state is not established, and can improve the interest of the game.

  The high-accuracy control that is executed after the end of the big hit gaming state of the probable big hit A, the probable big hit B, the probable big hit C, and the sudden hit big hit is continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit gaming state. . Therefore, if the big hit that occurred again is the probability change big hit A, the probability change big hit B, the probability change big hit C, or the sudden hit big hit, the high probability control is executed again after the big hit gaming state ends, so the big hit gaming state is the normal state. It becomes a so-called villa state that occurs continuously without going through.

  In addition, the time reduction control that is executed after the end of the big hit gaming state of the probable big hit A, the probable big hit B, the probable big hit C, and the sudden hit big hit is executed by a special game such as 100 times or 200 times. Or the game is ended by entering the big hit gaming state before the predetermined number of special game is executed. The time-shortening control executed after the end of the big hit gaming state of non-probable big hit A, non-probable big hit B, and non-probable big hit C is a special game (production) of a predetermined number of times such as 50 times, 20 times, 100 times, etc. The game ends when the game is executed, or the game state is a big hit game state before the predetermined number of special game is executed. After the end of the big hit gaming state of the non-probability variable big hit A, the non-probable big hit B, and the non-probable big hit C, the time-shortening control may not be executed.

  For each of the non-probable big hits A to C, the time reduction control is executed when the big hit is determined in the high base state, and the time reduction control is not executed when the big hit is determined in the low base state.

  For each of the non-probable big hits A to C, for example, when it is determined that the big hit is made in the high base state, the time-shortening control that is continued during the period of the 100 special game is executed, and the low base state is executed. When the big hit is determined in the game, the non-probability variable big hit A is executed 50 times, the non-probable variable big hit B is 20 times, and the non-probable variable big hit C is 100 times during the special game. You may do it. Further, for the sudden hit big hit, the time-shortening control may not be executed when the big hit is determined in the low base state.

  Whether or not to perform the time reduction control after the non-probable large hits A to C is determined based on a calculation result of a specific calculation (see FIG. 8) described later. For each of the probability variation big hits A to C, the non-probability big hits A to C, and the sudden probability big hit, the number of special-purpose games that continue the time-saving control when the time-saving control is performed (the number of times the time-saving control is continued) is a specific calculation (described later) (See FIG. 8).

  In the setting example of the big hit type determination table shown in FIG. 7A, “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, The determination value allocation for the big hit types of “probable big hit C”, “non-probable big hit A”, “non-probable big hit B”, “non-probable big big hit C”, and “sudden big hit” is different. Of these, paying attention to “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, and “probable big hit C”, when the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure, “1” to “ While the value in the range of “40” is assigned to the big hit type of “probability big hit A” with a large number of rounds (15 rounds), the range of “41” to “60” and “101” to “105” in the judgment value Is assigned to the big hit types of “probability big hit B”, “probability big hit C”, and “surprise big hit” with a small number of rounds (10 rounds, 5 rounds, and 2 rounds). When the variation special chart is the second special chart, the value in the range of “1” to “55” in the determination value is assigned to the big hit type of “probability big hit A” having a large number of rounds (15 rounds). On the other hand, the value in the range of “56” to “65” in the determination value is assigned to “probability variation big hit B” and “probability variation big hit C” with a small number of rounds (10 rounds, 5 rounds). In this setting, when the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types. And a case where the jackpot type is determined as one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is established. The ratio of determining the big hit type as “probable big hit B” or “probable big hit C” having a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, the first special figure is used because the ratio of controlling the big hit gaming state with a small number of rounds is reduced by setting the big hit type as “probable big hit B” and “probable big hit C”. It is possible to avoid frequent occurrence of the big hit gaming state with fewer prize balls obtained compared to the special figure game, and to prevent a decrease in gaming interest.

  When attention is paid to “non-probable variation big hit A”, “non-probable variation big hit B”, and “non-probable variation big hit C”, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, the judgment value ranges from “61” to “80”. A special figure game with a value of 50 is assigned to the big hit type of “non-probable big hit A” which is sometimes executed, while the value in the range of “81” to “95” in the judgment value is 20 times. Is assigned to a jackpot type of “non-probable variation jackpot B”. In addition, when the fluctuation special chart is the second special figure, the big hit of “non-probable big hit A” in which the value in the range of “61” to “85” in the judgment value may be executed 50 times. On the other hand, the value in the range of “86” to “95” in the determination value is assigned to the big hit type of “non-probable big hit B” that is sometimes executed 20 times for the special figure game. In both cases where the variation special chart is the first special figure and the second special figure, the five judgment values (“96” to “100” in the first special figure, in the second special figure, (A value in the range of “101” to “105”) is assigned to the big hit type of “non-probable big hit C” which may be executed 100 times of special figure game. Accordingly, when the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is established, the jackpot type is determined as one of a plurality of types, In the case of determining the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is established. Can be made different for “non-probable variation big hit A” and “non-probable big hit B”.

  In the example of the big hit type determination table shown in FIG. 7A, the decision values are assigned to the big hit types of “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, and “probable big hit C” which are probable variation states. , Regardless of whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure (in the case of the first special figure, the range of “1” to “60” and “101” to “105”, In the case of the second special figure, the range is from "1" to "65", so any of the probability variation big hits ("probable variation big hit A", "probable variation big hit B", "probable variation big hit C", "surprise big hit big") Or the probability of becoming a non-probable variable big hit (“non-probable variable big hit A”, “non-probable variable big hit B”, or “non-probable variable big hit C”), whether the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure It is the same regardless of the second special figure.

  Therefore, as described above, in the “probability variation big hit A”, “probability variation big hit B”, and “probability variation big hit C”, the allocation of the judgment value to the “probability big hit B”, “probable variation big hit C”, and “probable big hit C” is as follows: Depending on whether the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure or the second special figure, the determination value is assigned to the “probable variation big hit A”. Depending on whether it is a 2 special figure or not, for the “probable big hit A” with a large number of rounds, it becomes easier to determine when the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure than when it is the first special figure. Is set as follows.

  Further, as described above, in “non-probable variation big hit A”, “non-probable variation big hit B”, and “non-probable variation big hit C”, the allocation of judgment values to “non-probable variation big hit A” and “non-probable variation big hit B” varies. Depending on whether the special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, the decision value is assigned to the “non-probable variation big hit A” and the variable special figure is the first special figure. Depending on whether it is a 2 special figure, the “non-probable big hit A”, which may be executed 50 times, is the first special figure when the variable special figure is the second special figure. It is set so that it is easier to determine than in some cases.

  In addition, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure and the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, “surprising big hit”. In this example, different ranges are set for the jackpot type, but not limited to this, regardless of whether the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure or the second special figure, the determination value is assigned. May be set to the same big hit types of “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, and “probable big hit”.

  In addition, the variation special chart shows an example in which the first special chart and the second special chart are assigned with different judgment value allocations depending on the big hit types of “non-probable variable big hit A” and “non-probable big hit B”. Regardless of whether the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, the assignment of the judgment value is the same for the big hit types of “non-probable variable big hit A” and “non-probable variable big hit B” May be set.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a specific calculation table (provided in a predetermined area of the ROM 101) that stores data related to specific calculations. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, when it is determined in advance that the game state is a big hit gaming state, a specific calculation is performed using an arithmetic expression of a specific calculation “x + y” (hereinafter also referred to as a specific calculation result). And, for example, predetermined settings relating to game control and effect control are made based on the stored calculation results.

  FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the evaluation value x, which is the first value used for the specific calculation, and the evaluation value y, which is the second value, the specific calculation content, and the specific calculation result. The evaluation value x is a value for evaluating the gaming state at the time of occurrence of the big hit gaming state, and “0” is selected in the low base state, and “1” is selected in the high base state. The evaluation value y is selected according to the type of the big hit gaming state to be generated, and is “1” for the non-probability variable big hit A, “3” for the non-probable big hit B, “5” for the non-probable big hit C, “7”, “9” for probability variation big hit B, “11” for probability variation big hit C, and “13” for sudden probability big hit, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 8, an evaluation value x corresponding to the base state at the time of jackpot occurrence (at the time of jackpot determination) and an evaluation value y corresponding to the type of jackpot to be generated are selected, and an equation of “x + y” The specific calculation is executed, and the effect result (specific calculation result) is stored in a specific calculation result storage area provided in the ROM 101. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the non-probable variation big hit A is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation content is “0 + 1 = 1”, and the specific calculation result “1” is provided in the ROM 101. Stored in the specific calculation result storage area.

  By such a specific calculation, as shown in FIG. 8, the correspondence between the base state and the big hit type at the time of big hit determination and the calculation result is as follows. When the uncertain variation big hit A is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation result is “1”. When the uncertain variation big hit A is determined in the high base state, the specific calculation result is “2”. When the uncertain variation big hit B is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation result is “3”. When the uncertain variation big hit B is determined in the high base state, the specific calculation result is “4”. When the uncertain variation big hit C is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation result is “5”. When the uncertain variation big hit C is determined in the high base state, the specific calculation result is “6”. When the probability variation big hit A is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation result is “7”. When the probability variation big hit A is determined in the high base state, the specific calculation result is “8”. When the probability variation big hit B is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation result is “9”. When the probability variation big hit B is determined in the high base state, the specific calculation result is “10”. When the probability variation big hit C is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation result is “11”. When the probability variation big hit C is determined in the high base state, the specific calculation result is “12”. When the sudden hit is determined in the low base state, the specific calculation result is “13”. When the sudden hit is determined in the high base state, the specific calculation result is “14”.

  The specific calculation results are “1” to “14”, and the combination of the game state and the jackpot type at the time of occurrence (decision) of the jackpot game state is different. Thereby, it is possible to specify the combination of the gaming state and the jackpot type at the time of occurrence (decision) of the jackpot gaming state from the specific calculation result.

  When it is determined to be such a big hit, the specific calculation result stored as the calculation result of the specific calculation using the determined jackpot type and the gaming state when it is determined to be the big hit is For example, determination of the jackpot start effect type (effect time) for the jackpot (see FIG. 9), determination of the jackpot end effect type (effect time) for the jackpot (see FIG. 10), and time-saving control after the jackpot game state ends. Determination of presence / absence (see FIG. 11), determination of the type of short-time control after the jackpot gaming state is completed (see FIG. 11), and determination of the variation pattern type of the variation display that becomes the jackpot (FIG. 11) 12)).

  In addition, the evaluation value of the big hit type may use a common value instead of separate values for the non-probable big hits A to C, and use a common value instead of separate values for the probable big hits A to C. Also good.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a jackpot start effect selection table used for selecting and determining the type of jackpot start effect (effect time). In FIG. 9, the stored specific calculation results are associated with the types of jackpot start effects to be selected.

  When selecting and determining the type of the big hit start effect (effect time), the specific calculation result calculated and stored by the specific calculation at the time of determining the big hit is read, and the read specific is obtained using the big hit start effect selection table of FIG. The type of jackpot start effect (effect time) corresponding to the value of the calculation result is selected and determined, and the jackpot start effect is executed with the determined type of jackpot start effect (effect time). For example, in FIG. 9, when it is determined that any of the probable big hits A to C in the low base state, that is, when the specific calculation result is “7”, “9”, or “11”, The decision is made to select a 10-second jackpot start effect, which is the first probability variation jackpot start effect corresponding to the specific calculation result.

  With regard to the big hit start effect shown in FIG. 9, for each of the probability variation big hits A to C and the sudden hit big hit, when the big hit is determined in the low base state, the big hit is determined in the high base state. The production time is set longer. This is because, when it becomes a big hit type that shifts to these high probability states in the low base state, in order to secure the effect time for performing the effect of informing that the transition to the high probability state, It is set. In regard to the big hit start effect, with respect to each of the probable big hits A to C and the sudden big hit, the case where the big hit is determined in the high base state is more effective than the case where the big hit is determined in the low base state. The production time may be set longer.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a jackpot end effect selection table used for selecting and determining the type of jackpot end effect (effect time). In FIG. 10, the stored specific calculation result and the type of jackpot end effect to be selected are associated one-to-one.

The type of jackpot end effect (effect time) corresponding to the value of the calculation result is selected and determined, and the jackpot end effect is executed with the determined type of jackpot end effect (effect time). For example, in FIG. 10, when it is determined that any of the probable big hits A to C in the low base state, that is, when the specific calculation result is “7”, “9”, or “11”, The decision is made to select the 10-second jackpot end effect that is the first probability variation jackpot end effect corresponding to the specific calculation result.

  With regard to the big hit end effect shown in FIG. 10, for each of the probable big hits A to C and the sudden hit big hit, when the big hit is determined in the low base state, the big hit is determined in the high base state. The production time is set longer. This is because, when it becomes a big hit type that shifts to these high probability states in the low base state, in order to secure the effect time for performing the effect of informing that the transition to the high probability state, It is set. In regard to the big hit end effect, for each of the probable big hits A to C and the sudden big hit, the case where the big hit is determined in the high base state is more effective than the case where the big hit is determined in the low base state. The production time may be set longer.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a time reduction selection table used for selecting and determining the presence / absence of time reduction control and the time reduction control duration (continuation count). In the time reduction selection table of FIG. 11, the stored specific calculation results, “no time reduction control”, and “time duration duration (number of continuations)” when performing time reduction control are associated one-to-one. ing.

  In the time reduction selection table of FIG. 11, for the non-probable variable big hit A, when the specific calculation result determined as big hit in the low base state is “1”, “no time reduction control” is selected, and big hit is determined in the high base state. When the specific calculation result is “2”, “execute time reduction control 50 times (first duration)” is selected. For the non-probable big hit B, when the specific calculation result determined for the big hit in the low base state is “3”, “no time reduction control” is selected, and the specific calculation result determined for the big hit in the high base state is “4”. ”Is selected,“ Perform time reduction control 20 times (second duration) ”. For the non-probable large hit C, when the specific calculation result determined for the big hit in the low base state is “5”, “no time reduction control” is selected, and the specific calculation result determined for the big hit in the high base state is “6”. ”Is selected,“ Perform time reduction control in 100 times (third duration) ”.

  In the time reduction selection table of FIG. 11, for probability variation big hit A, when the specific calculation result determined as big hit in the low base state is “7”, “execute time reduction control in 100 times (third duration)” is selected. Then, when the specific calculation result determined to be a big hit in the high base state is “8”, “execute time reduction control at 200 times (fourth duration)” is selected. Also, for the probability variation big hit B, when the specific calculation result determined for the big hit in the low base state is “9”, “execute time reduction control 100 times (third duration)” is selected, and in the high base state When the result of the specific calculation determined to be a big hit is “10”, “execute time reduction control at 200 times (fourth duration)” is selected. In addition, for the probability variation big hit C, when the specific calculation result determined for the big hit in the low base state is “11”, “execute time reduction control in 100 times (third duration)” is selected, and in the high base state When the result of the specific calculation determined to be a big hit is “12”, “execute time reduction control at 200 times (fourth duration)” is selected.

When the determined specific calculation result is “14”, “execute time reduction control at 200 times (fourth duration)” is selected.

  As described above, in the time reduction selection table, it is possible to determine whether or not to perform the time reduction control after the end of the big hit gaming state and to determine the duration for performing the time reduction control. For each of the non-probable big hits A to C, as in the case of the probable big hits A to C, the time-shortening control is performed on the big hit determined in the low base state by the time reduction selection table (including determination of the number of continuations). ). Further, for each of the probable big hits A to C, like the non-probable big hits A to C, it may be decided not to perform the time reduction control for the big hit determined in the low base state by the time reduction selection table.

  Further, when making a decision regarding the time-short control for the non-probable big hit, different ratios (for example, specific calculation results 1 <2 <3 <4 <5 <6 <7 <8) are obtained for each of the specific calculation results (1 to 14). <9 <10 <11 <12 <13 <14), and whether or not to perform the time reduction control is determined, and when the time reduction control is determined, the duration of the time reduction control is selected and determined. The duration may be selected and determined using a table. Further, the determination of whether or not to execute the time-saving control and the selection determination of the duration of the time-saving control may be applied to the probability variation big hit. In that case, the decision selection ratio of whether or not to perform time-short control for the non-probable big hit may be the same, and the decision ratio for the short-time control is higher for the probable big hit than for the non-probable big hit. You may set as follows. In addition, the selection ratio of the duration of the short-time control may be the same for the non-probable big hit and the probable big hit, and it is set so that the ratio for selecting the long duration for the probable big hit is higher than the non-probable big hit. Also good.

  In each of FIGS. 12A to 12F, the variation pattern determination value (MR3) is associated with the type of variation pattern to be selected. When the stored specific calculation results are “1” to “12”, one variation pattern is selected from among normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β as the variation pattern. For example, in FIG. 12A, when the determination value is in the numerical range of 701 to 900, super reach α is selected. When the stored specific calculation results are “13” and “14”, either the special variation A or the special variation B is selected as the variation pattern. For example, in FIG. 12E, when the determination value is in the numerical range of 1 to 700, the special variation A is selected.

  12A and 12B are compared, and when any of the uncertain variation big hits A to C is determined, the specific calculation result is “1”, “3”, or “5” (low The big hit determination in the base state) has a higher super-reach α selection ratio than when the specific calculation result is “2”, “4”, or “6” (the big hit determination in the high base state). The selection ratio of reach β is low.

  12 (C) and 12 (D) are compared, and when the probability calculation big hit A to C is determined, the specific calculation result is “7”, “9”, or “11” (low base Big hit determination in the state), the selection ratio of super reach α is higher than when the specific calculation result is “8”, “10”, or “12” (big hit determination in the high base state). The selection ratio of β is low.

  12E and 12F are compared, and when the specific calculation result is “13” (decision of big hit in the low base state) when the probability change big hit is determined, the specific calculation result is “14”. ”(The big hit determination in the high base state), the selection ratio of the special variation A is high, and the selection ratio of the special variation B is low.

  The specific calculation necessary for making the predetermined setting as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 is executed at the timing immediately after the big hit determination and the big hit type determination as shown in FIG. 31 described later. However, the specific calculation may be executed at any timing before the predetermined setting described above.

  Of the predetermined settings described above, the setting of the gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state does not shift to the reliable time-saving control, and the table for selecting and determining the variation pattern is set to the normal state (for example, low probability The second variation in which the selection rate of the specific short variation pattern is lower than that of the first variation pattern selection table is used in the first variation pattern selection table having a low selection rate of the specific short variation pattern, which is used in the low base state). The change ratio of the variation pattern to be used by changing to the pattern selection table may be set, and whether to change the change pattern and the duration of the change may be set based on the specific calculation result Good.

  In addition, among the predetermined settings described above, the setting of the production mode corresponding to the big hit game state is not limited to the variation pattern, but various types of advance notice patterns such as jackpot notices, operation patterns of the moving objects for the production, Even if applied to any one or a combination of other types of presentation modes corresponding to the jackpot gaming state, such as a sound output pattern and a light emission pattern of light emitting means such as a lamp for production Good. In other words, the effect mode corresponding to the big hit gaming state may be anything that can be reported in some manner as to whether it is advantageous to the player.

  Also, the variable display result designation command shown in FIG. 3B is divided into a low base state command and a high base state command, and the command selected according to the base state is transmitted. May be. In this way, the base state can be recognized on the side of the arithmetic control CPU 120 by receiving such a command, so that the presentation control performed by recognizing the base state can be facilitated.

The pattern 22 is a pattern derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A when the CPU 103 outputs the output data “11010000”.

  Of these display symbol determination tables, paying attention to the probability variation big hit B display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) in FIG. 16 and the probability variation big hit C display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) in FIG. The only difference between 1 and pattern 4, pattern 2 and pattern 5, and pattern 3 and pattern 6 is whether or not the dot segment H is lit. For this reason, in the first special symbol display device 4A, the display symbols of pattern 1 to pattern 3 indicating the probability variation big hit B are derived and displayed, and the display symbols of pattern 4 to pattern 6 indicating the probability variation big hit C are derived and displayed. In this case, the player must determine whether the display symbol derived and displayed is the display symbol of the probability variation jackpot B pattern or the probability variation jackpot C display pattern only by whether or not the dot segment H is lit. I must. That is, the case where the display symbols of pattern 1 to pattern 3 showing the probability variation big hit B are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, and the case where the display symbols of the patterns 4 to 6 showing the probability variation big hit C are derived and displayed. Then, only by the difference between turning on and off the segment H, it is possible to derive and display on the first special symbol display device 4A a display symbol that makes it difficult for the player to determine whether the big hit type is a probable big hit B or a probable big hit C. .

  As shown in FIG. 16, the display pattern of the pattern 2 in which the segments C, D, E and the segment H are lit up includes three random values (47, 48) in the range (41 to 55) that the random number MR2 can take. 49) is assigned to the determination value, as shown in FIG. 17, the display pattern of the pattern 5 in which the segments C, D, and E are lit as in the pattern 2 is a range that the random value MR2 can take ( 56-60), one random value (58) is assigned to the determination value. For this reason, when the big hit type is a probable big hit B or a probable big hit C, if a display symbol in which the segments C, D, E are lit is displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, it is 3/4 (75% ), The jackpot game of probability variation big hit B having a larger number of rounds than the probability variation big hit C is executed. In other words, when the display symbols in which the segments C, D and E are lit are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, the jackpot game of the probability variation big hit B having a larger number of rounds than the probability variation big hit C is executed. On the other hand, a judgment value is set so that the player can expect it.

  Similarly to the display symbols determining table for the first special figure shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the segments C, D, E and the segment H are also shown in the display symbols determining table for the second special figure shown in FIGS. In the display pattern of the pattern 2 in which is lit, three random values (58, 59, 60) out of the range (56 to 62) that the random value MR2 can take are assigned to the determination values. Similarly, in the display pattern of the pattern 5 in which the segments C, D, and E are lit, one random value (64) is assigned to the determination value in the range (63 to 65) that the random value MR2 can take. Therefore, when the big hit type is a probable big hit B or a probable big hit C, even when a display symbol in which the segments C, D and E are lit is displayed and displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B, it is more than the probable big hit C. The determination value is set so that the player can expect that the big hit game with the probability variation big hit B having a large number of rounds is executed.

  Further, paying attention to the display symbol determination table for probability variation big hit B (for the first special diagram) in FIG. 16 and the display symbol determination table for non-probable variation big hit C (for the first special diagram) in FIG. The only difference between pattern 2 and pattern 14 and pattern 3 and pattern 15 is whether or not segment B is lit. For this reason, in the first special symbol display device 4A, the display symbols of patterns 1 to 3 showing the probability variation big hit B are derived and displayed, and the display symbols of patterns 13 to 15 showing the non-probable big hit C are derived and displayed. In the case, the player must determine whether the display symbol derived and displayed is the display symbol of the probability variation big hit B pattern or the display symbol of the non-probable big hit C based only on whether the segment B is lit or not. I must. That is, when the display symbols of patterns 1 to 3 indicating the probability variation big hit B are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, and the display symbols of patterns 13 to 15 indicating the non-probable variation big hit C are derived and displayed. In this case, the display symbol that is difficult for the player to determine whether the jackpot type is the probable big hit B or the non-probable big hit C is derived to the first special symbol display device 4A only by the difference between turning on and off the segment B. Can be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the display pattern of the pattern 2 in which the segments C, D, E and the segment H are lit up includes three random values (47, 48) in the range (41 to 55) that the random number MR2 can take. 49) are assigned to the determination values, as shown in FIG. 20, the display pattern of the pattern 14 in which the segments C, D, E and the segment H are lit and the segment B is lit as in the pattern 2 In the range (96 to 100) that the random value MR2 can take, one random value (98) is assigned to the determination value. Therefore, when the big hit type is a probable big hit B or a non-probable big hit C, if a display symbol in which the segments C, D, E, and H are lit is displayed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, 3/4 A jackpot game of probability variation big hit B is executed in which probability variation control is executed after the jackpot game ends with a probability of (75%). In other words, when the display symbols in which the segments C, D, E, and H are turned on are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, the player can expect that the probability variation control is executed after the big hit game ends. The judgment value is set as follows.

  Similarly to the display design determination table for the first special figure shown in FIGS. 16 and 20, the display symbols determination table for the second special illustration shown in FIGS. 23 and 27 also includes the segments C, D, E and the segment H. In the display pattern of the pattern 2 that lights up, three random values (58, 59, 60) out of the range (56 to 62) that the random value MR2 can take are assigned to the determination values, while the pattern 2 Similarly to the display pattern of the pattern 14 in which the segments C, D, E and the segment H are turned on and the segment B is turned on, one random number value (103) in the range (101 to 105) that the random value MR2 can take is shown. Is assigned to the judgment value. Therefore, when the big hit type is a probabilistic big hit B or a non-probable big hit C, even if a display symbol in which the segments C, D, E, and H are lit is displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B, the big hit game ends. The determination value is set so that the player can expect that the probability variation control will be executed later.

  Further, when attention is paid to the non-probability variable big hit A display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) shown in FIG. 18 and the non-probable big hit B display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) shown in FIG. The only difference between the pattern 10, the pattern 8 and the pattern 11, and the pattern 9 and the pattern 12 is whether or not the segment H is lit. For this reason, in the first special symbol display device 4A, the display symbols of patterns 7 to 9 showing the non-probable variation big hit A are derived and displayed, and the display symbols of patterns 10 to 12 showing the non-probable big hit B are derived and displayed. The player determines whether the display symbol derived and displayed is the display symbol of the non-probable variation big hit A pattern or the display symbol of the non-probable big hit B only by whether or not the segment H is lit. Must. That is, when the display symbols of pattern 7 to pattern 9 showing the non-probable variation big hit A are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, the display symbols of patterns 10 to 12 showing the non-probable big hit B are derived and displayed. In the case, the first special symbol display device 4A is a display symbol that is difficult for the player to determine whether the jackpot type is the non-probable variation big hit A or the non-probable variation big hit B by only the difference between lighting and extinguishing of the segment H. Can be derived and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the display pattern of the pattern 8 in which the segments A, B, F, G, and the segment H are lit has three random values (69 in the range (61-80) that the random value MR2 can take. , 70, 71) are assigned to the determination values, as shown in FIG. 19, the random number MR2 is displayed in the display pattern of the pattern 11 in which the segments A, B, F, and G are lit as in the pattern 8. One random value (88) is assigned to the determination value in the possible range (81 to 95). For this reason, when the display symbols in which the segments A, B, F, and G are lit are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, the probability of big hit B after the big hit game ends with a probability of 3/4 (75%). The big hit game of the uncertain variable big hit A is executed with a larger number of special figure games (variable display) when the time-shortening control is executed. In other words, when the jackpot type is non-probable variation big hit A or non-probable variation big hit B, if the display symbols in which the segments A, B, F, and G are lit are displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, the big hit game ends. A determination value so that the player can expect that the big hit game of the non-probable variable big hit A will be executed when the short-time control is executed later than the non-probable big hit B, which has a larger number of special figure games (variable display). Is set.

  Similarly to the display symbol determination table for the first special figure shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the display symbols determination table for the second special figure shown in FIGS. 25 and 26 also includes the segments A, B, F, and G. In the display pattern of the pattern 8 in which the segment H is lit, three random values (74, 75, 76) out of the range (66 to 90) that the random value MR2 can take are assigned to the determination values. Like the pattern 8, the display pattern of the pattern 11 in which the segments A, B, F, and G are lit, one random value (97) is assigned to the determination value in the range (91 to 100) that the random value MR2 can take. It has been. For this reason, when the big hit type is the non-probable big hit A or the non-probable big hit B, the big special hit is displayed even when the display symbols in which the segments A, B, F, G are lit are displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B. After the game is over, so that the player can expect that the big hit game of the non-probable variable big hit A is executed more frequently than the non-probable big hit B when the time-short control is executed. A judgment value is set. While the time-shortening control is being executed, as described above, the control and the fluctuation display result for the normal game are improved so that the probability that the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is “per normal map” is higher than that in the normal state. Control for making the tilt control time of the movable blade piece tilt control in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that it has become “per figure” becomes longer than in the normal state, and the number of tilts is increased than in the normal state. The control (electricity chew support control) that is advantageous to the player is performed by making it easier for the game ball to pass (enter) the second start winning opening and increasing the possibility that the second start condition is satisfied. The That is, while the time reduction control is being executed, the fluctuation display of the second special figure is mainly executed.

  Thus, in the display design determination table for the first special figure in FIGS. 15 to 20 and the display design determination table for the second special figure in FIGS. Depending on whether it is the first special figure or the second special figure, there is a place where the range of the assigned determination value and the assigned display symbol are different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, when the variation special chart is the first special chart, the display pattern of the pattern 1 in which the segments A, D, G and the segment H are lit is a range that the random number MR2 can take. While six random numbers (41 to 46) among (41 to 55) are assigned to the determination values, segments A, D and G and segments B and H are the same as pattern 1 as shown in FIG. Two random number values (96 to 97) of the range (96 to 100) that can be taken by the random number value MR2 are assigned to the display pattern of the pattern 13 in which is lit. For this reason, when the big hit type is a probable big hit B or a non-probable big hit C, if a display symbol in which the segments A, D, G, H are lit is displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, it is 3/4. A jackpot game of probability variation big hit B is executed in which probability variation control is executed after the jackpot game ends with a probability of (75%).

  Further, when the variation special figure is the second special figure, as shown in FIG. 23, the display pattern of the pattern 1 in which the segments A, D, G and the segment H are lit is within a range (56 To 62), two random number values (56 to 57) are assigned to the determination values. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27, segments A, D and G and segments B and H are lit as in pattern 1. In the display pattern of the pattern 13 to be performed, two random number values (101 to 102) in the range (101 to 105) that the random value MR2 can take are assigned to the determination values. For this reason, when the big hit type is a probabilistic big hit B or a non-probable big hit C, a display symbol in which the segments A, D, G, H are lit is displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B. A jackpot game of probability variation big hit B is executed in which probability variation control is executed after the jackpot game ends with a probability of (50%).

  Further, when the variation special chart is the first special chart, as shown in FIG. 16, the display pattern of the pattern 1 in which the segments A, D, G and the segment H are lit is a range (41) that the random number MR2 can take. To 55), six random number values (41 to 46) are assigned to the determination values. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. In the symbol, two random number values (56 to 57) out of the range (56 to 60) that the random value MR2 can take are assigned to the determination values. For this reason, when the big hit type is the probable big hit B or the probable big hit C, if the display symbol in which the segments A, D, G are lit is displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, it is 3/4 (75% The probability variation big hit game B is executed in which probability variation control is executed after the big hit game ends with the probability of).

  Further, when the variation special figure is the second special figure, as shown in FIG. 23, the display pattern of the pattern 1 in which the segments A, D, G and the segment H are lit is within a range (56 -62), two random number values (56-57) are assigned to the determination values. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. In the symbol, one random value (63) is assigned to the determination value in the range (63 to 65) that the random value MR2 can take. Therefore, when the big hit type is a probable big hit B or a probable big hit C, if a display symbol in which the segments A, D, G are lit is displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B, it is 2/3 (about 66 .67%), a jackpot game of probability variation big hit B having a larger number of rounds than probability variation big hit C is executed.

  When the variation special chart is the first special chart, as shown in FIG. 18, the display pattern of the pattern 7 in which the segments B, C, E, and F are lit has a range (61 to 61) that the random number MR2 can take. 80), eight random number values (61 to 68) are assigned to the determination values. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19, segments B, C, E, F and segment H are lit as in pattern 7. In the display pattern of the pattern 10, seven random numbers (81 to 87) out of the range (81 to 95) that the random number MR2 can take are assigned to the determination values. Therefore, when the big hit type is non-probable variation big hit A or non-probable variation big hit B, if a display symbol in which segments B, C, E, F are lit is displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A, 3 / A jackpot game of probability variation big hit B, in which probability variation control is executed after the jackpot game ends with a probability of 4 (75%), is executed.

  Further, when the variation special figure is the second special figure, as shown in FIG. 23, the display pattern of the pattern 1 in which the segments A, D, G and the segment H are lit is within a range (56 -62), two random number values (56-57) are assigned to the determination values. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. In the symbol, one random value (63) is assigned to the determination value in the range (63 to 65) that the random value MR2 can take. Therefore, when the big hit type is the probable big hit B or the probable big hit C, if the display symbols in which the segments A, D and G are lit are displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B, 8/15 (about 53 (3.3%) is a probability game with a non-probable big hit A that has a greater number of special-time games (variable display) in which the short-time control is executed after completion of the big hit game than the non-probable big hit B.

  Thus, the first special symbol display according to whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, such as pattern 1 and pattern 4, pattern 1 and pattern 13, pattern 7 and pattern 10 Display symbols derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B by providing display symbols having different ratios (probabilities) derived and displayed on the device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to specify the jackpot type based on an empirical rule based on display symbols derived and displayed in the past.

  Furthermore, in addition to pattern 1 and pattern 4, pattern 1 and pattern 13, pattern 7 and pattern 10, variation special patterns such as pattern 2 and pattern 5, pattern 2 and pattern 14, pattern 8 and pattern 11 are the first special characteristics. Due to a mixture of display symbols with the same ratio (probability) derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B regardless of whether it is a figure or a second special symbol The player's rule of thumb is classified from the display symbols derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B by causing a deviation in the empirical rules based on the display symbols derived and displayed in the past by the player. Making it more difficult to identify.

  When the variation special chart is the second special figure, in the display symbols of pattern 1 and pattern 4, pattern 1 and pattern 13, and pattern 7 and pattern 10, the jackpot type on the more advantageous side (for example, probability variation big hit B If the probability variation big hit C, the probability variation big hit B, the probability variation big hit B and the non-probability variation big hit C if the probability variation big hit B, if the non-probability variation big hit A and the non-probability variable big hit B, the big probability game of the non-probability big hit A) is executed. The determination value is assigned so that the probability is lower than the case where the variation special chart is the first special figure, and when the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure, the pattern 2 and the pattern 5, the pattern 2 In the display pattern of pattern 14 and pattern 8 and pattern 11, the probability that the jackpot game of the jackpot type on the more advantageous side will be executed becomes equal compared to the case where the variation chart is the first chart. like Although the form in which the constant value is assigned is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variation special figure is the second special figure, pattern 1 and pattern 4, pattern 1 and pattern 13, pattern 7 and pattern 10, In the display patterns of pattern 2 and pattern 5, pattern 2 and pattern 14, pattern 8 and pattern 11, the probability that a jackpot game of the more advantageous side jackpot type will be executed, the fluctuation chart is the first chart. The determination value may be assigned to be higher than the case.

  Further, when the display symbol determination table for the first special symbol in FIGS. 16 to 20 and the display symbol determination table for the second special symbol in FIGS. 22 to 27 are compared, the display symbol determination table for the second special symbol in FIGS. In the display symbol determination table, the display symbols of pattern 3, pattern 6, pattern 9, pattern 12, and pattern 15 to which the determination value is assigned in the display symbol determination table for the first special symbol of FIGS. Are assigned to display symbols of different patterns 16, 17, 17, 18, 19, and 20. Therefore, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are different in part of the display symbols to be derived and displayed, and the player can use the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device. Even if it becomes possible to discriminate by storing the display symbol derived and displayed on either one of 4B, it is difficult to discriminate the display symbol derived and displayed on the other special symbol display device.

  Further, as shown in the display symbols determination table for the first special symbol in FIGS. 16 to 20 and the display symbol determination tables for the second special symbol in FIGS. In addition, the number of display symbols that can be displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is one (only the display symbol of pattern 0), whereas the big hit type is other than the probable big hit A. In this case, the number of display symbols that can be displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is three for each jackpot type. In other words, when the jackpot type is the probability variation jackpot A, the number of display symbols that can be displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is the first when the jackpot type is other than the probability variation jackpot A. The number is smaller than the number of display symbols that can be displayed on the special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B.

  Further, if attention is paid to the display symbol determination table for probability variation big hit B (for the first special figure) in FIG. 16 and the display symbol determination table for non-probable variation big hit C (for the first special figure) in FIG. The display patterns of three patterns are set as the corresponding stop symbols for the probability variation big hit C, and 15 judgment values from 41 to 55 are assigned to the probability variation big hit B. Are assigned five judgment values from 96 to 100. That is, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, “1”, which is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the probability variation big hit B by the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit C, is a probability variation. It is smaller than a value “3” obtained by dividing the number of judgment values assigned to the big hit B by the number of judgment values assigned to the non-probable big hit.

  In addition, paying attention to the display pattern determination table for probability variation big hit B (for the first special figure) in FIG. 16 and the display symbol determination table for probability variation big hit C in FIG. 17 (for the first special figure), the probability variation big hit B and the probability variation big hit In C, display patterns of three patterns are set as corresponding stop symbols, 15 decision values from 41 to 55 are assigned to the probability variation big hit B, and 56 is given to the probability variation big hit C. Five judgment values from ˜60 are assigned. That is, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, “1”, which is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the probability variation big hit B by the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit C, is a probability variation. It is smaller than a value “3” obtained by dividing the number of judgment values assigned to the big hit B by the number of judgment values assigned to the non-probable big hit C.

  Further, if attention is paid to the non-probable variation big hit A display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) and the non-probable variable big hit B display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) in FIG. In the non-probable variation big hit B, display patterns of three patterns are set as the corresponding stop symbols, and 20 judgment values from 61 to 80 are assigned to the non-probable big hit A. Fifteen decision values from 81 to 95 are assigned to the probability variation big hit B. That is, when the variation special chart is the first special figure, “1”, which is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit A by the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit B, It is smaller than a value “about 1.333” obtained by dividing the number of judgment values assigned to the non-probable variation big hit A by the number of judgment values assigned to the non-probable big hit B.

  Similarly, paying attention to the display pattern determination table for probability variation big hit B (for the second special figure) in FIG. 23 and the display symbol determination table for non-probable variable big hit C (for the second special figure) in FIG. The non-probability variation big hit C is set with three display symbols as corresponding stop symbols, the probability variation big hit B is assigned seven judgment values from 56 to 62, and the non-probable big hit C is 101. Five judgment values from ˜105 are assigned. That is, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, “1”, which is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the probability variation big hit B by the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit C, is a probability variation. It is smaller than a value “1.4” obtained by dividing the number of judgment values assigned to the big hit B by the number of judgment values assigned to the non-probable big hit.

  Further, paying attention to the display design determination table for probability variation big hit B (for the second special diagram) in FIG. 23 and the display symbol determination table for probability variation big hit C in FIG. 24 (for the second special diagram), the probability variation big hit B and the probability variation big hit In C, three display symbols are set as corresponding stop symbols, and seven determination values from 56 to 62 are assigned to the probability variation big hit B, and 63 to 65 is assigned to the probability variation big hit C. Up to three judgment values are assigned. That is, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, “1”, which is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the probability variation big hit B by the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit C, is a probability variation. It is smaller than a value “about 2.333” obtained by dividing the number of judgment values assigned to big hit B by the number of judgment values assigned to non-probable big hit C.

  Further, when attention is paid to the non-probability variable big hit A display symbol determination table (for the second special figure) and the non-probable variable big hit B display symbol determination table (for the second special figure) in FIG. And non-probability variable big hit B are set to display three patterns as corresponding stop symbols, non-probability variable big hit A is assigned 25 judgment values from 66 to 90, Twenty judgment values from 91 to 100 are assigned. That is, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, “1”, which is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit A by the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit B, It is smaller than a value “about 1.666” obtained by dividing the number of judgment values assigned to the probability variation big hit A by the number of judgment values assigned to the non-probability big hit B.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 27, the number of display symbols assigned to each jackpot type is smaller than the number of determination values assigned to each jackpot type. Compared with the case where display symbols are assigned 1: 1 for each determination value, the capacity of display symbols stored in advance can be reduced.

  In addition, the number of display symbols assigned to each jackpot type is smaller than the number of determination values assigned to each jackpot type. The player determines whether the display symbol derived and displayed on the special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is a jackpot display symbol (a display symbol indicating one of the jackpot types) or an outlier display symbol. May be difficult to distinguish. In addition, the number of symbols to be displayed is a number in which the number of symbols to be displayed and the number of symbols to be displayed are the number of symbols (256) that can be displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. If it is.

  The ROM 101 also stores a variation pattern determination table for determining a variation pattern based on a random number MR3 for variation pattern determination. Determine one of the fluctuation patterns.

  Specifically, as the fluctuation pattern determination table, the big hit variation pattern determination table (see FIG. 12) used when it is determined in advance that the special figure display result is “big hit”, and the special figure display result A variation pattern determination table for losing (not shown) used when it is determined in advance to be “losing” is prepared in advance.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the big hit fluctuation pattern determination table, the fluctuation pattern for normal reach big hit (PB1-1), the fluctuation pattern for big super reach α (PB1-2), the fluctuation pattern for super reach β big hit (PB1- 3) For each variation pattern of the variation pattern (PC1-1) of the special variation A and the variation pattern (PC1-2) of the special variation B, a predetermined value within a range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination A random value is assigned as a judgment value. If these judgment values are “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, the super reach β is easily determined, and the big hit type is “non-probable big hit A”. In the case of “non-probable variation big hit B” and “non-probable variation big hit C”, since the super reach α is allocated so as to be easily determined, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β is executed, It is possible to increase the player's expectation that it will be “big hit A”, “probable big hit B” or “probable big hit C”.

  In the variation pattern determination table for loss, the variation pattern determination table A for loss used when the number of reserved memories is 1 or less, and for the loss used when the total number of reserved memories is 2 to 4 Fluctuation pattern determination table B, lost variation pattern determination table C used when the total number of reserved memories is 5 to 8, and used when the gaming state is a high base state in which time-saving control is performed The lost variation pattern determination table D is prepared in advance.

  In the variation pattern determination table A for loss, the non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-1) without reduction, the normal reach loss variation pattern (PA2-1), the super reach α loss variation pattern (PA2-2), and the super reach. A predetermined random value is assigned as a determination value to a variation pattern (PA2-3) of β loss in a range that the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take. Also, in the variation pattern determination table B for loss, the shortened non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-2), the normal reach loss variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super reach corresponding to the total number of reserved memories of 2 to 4. A predetermined random value is assigned as a determination value to a variation pattern determining random value MR3 for the α loss variation pattern (PA2-2) and the super reach β loss variation pattern (PA2-3). ing. Also, in the variation pattern determination table C for loss, the shortened non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-3), the normal reach loss variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super reach corresponding to the total reserved memory number of 5 to 8. A predetermined random value is assigned as a determination value to a variation pattern determining random value MR3 for the α loss variation pattern (PA2-2) and the super reach β loss variation pattern (PA2-3). ing. In the variation pattern determination table D for loss, the variation pattern of shortened non-reach loss (PA1-4), the variation pattern of normal reach loss (PA2-1), and the variation pattern of super reach α loss ( PA2-2), a predetermined random value is assigned as a determination value to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) of the super reach β loss, out of the possible range of the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-2) has a shorter variation time than the non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-1) without shortening, and moreover than the variation pattern (PA1-2). However, the non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-3) has a shorter variation time. Therefore, when the number of reserved memories increases, the non-reach loss variation pattern with a short variation time is determined, so that the reserved memory is easily digested, and the number of reserved memories reaches the upper limit number of 4. Occasionally, the start winning is difficult to generate a useless start winning that is not reserved, and when the number of reserved memories is reduced, the fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss (PA1-1) without shortening the fluctuation time is long. As a result of the determination, the time for the variable display becomes longer, so that it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the fact that the variable display is not executed.

The hold information that makes it possible to determine whether or not a big hit will be made based on.

  The second special figure holding storage unit 151B has not yet started although the game ball has passed (entered) through the second start winning port formed by the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B and the start winning (second start winning) has occurred. On-hold data of a special figure game (a special figure game using the second special figure of the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure holding storage unit 151B associates with the holding number in the winning order (game ball detection order) to the second starting winning opening, and sets the second starting condition in the passage (entrance) of the game ball. Based on the establishment, the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, etc., which are extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 are held data.

  Note that the holding information (first holding information) based on the establishment of the first starting condition by passing (entering) the game ball through the first starting winning opening and the gaming ball passing (entering) through the second starting winning opening. The hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start winning may be stored in association with the hold number in the common hold storage unit. In this case, the start port data indicating whether the game ball has passed (entered) through the first start winning port or the second start winning port may be included in the hold information and stored in association with the hold number. .

  The general figure holding storage unit 151C stores the holding information of the normal figure game that has not yet been started by the normal symbol display 20 even though the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21. For example, the universal figure storage unit 151C is used to determine the general figure display result that is extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the passage of the game balls in association with the reservation numbers in the order in which the game balls have passed the passing gate 41.

When the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 performs the necessary initial setting after setting the interrupt prohibition. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Also, register setting of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. Thereby, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted and then loop processing is started. In the game control main process, a process for returning the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop may be executed before entering the loop process.

  When the CPU 103 executing the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 29 is started, the CPU 103 executes a predetermined switch process, thereby causing the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port switch 22B through the switch circuit 110. Then, the state of the detection signal input from various switches called the count switch 23 is determined (S11). Next, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed by executing predetermined main side error processing, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (S12). Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output (S13). ).

  Subsequent to the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers random numbers MR1 to MR4 used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (S14). Thereafter, special symbol process processing is executed (S15). In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol is processed. Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of the display operation in the display device 4B, setting of the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (S16). The CPU 103 controls the display operation (for example, turning on / off the segment LED, etc.) on the normal symbol display 20 by executing the normal symbol process, so that the variable display of the normal symbol and the movable in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B are possible. Enables setting of tilting movement of blades.

  After executing the normal symbol process, the CPU 103 transmits a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 by executing a command control process (S17). As an example, in the command control process, in response to the setting in the command transmission table specified by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155, among the output ports included in the I / O 105, effect control After setting the control data in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the board 12, the predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal and the effect control INT signal is turned on for a predetermined time. By changing to the off state, etc., it is possible to transmit the effect control command based on the setting in the command transmission table. After executing the command control process, after setting the interrupt enabled state, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in S15 shown in FIG. 29 as the special symbol process. In this special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (S21). After executing the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of S22 to S29 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether or not there has been a first start prize or a second start prize by the first start port switch 22A or the second start port switch 22B. The random number value MR1 for determination, the random value MR2 for determining the big hit type, and the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern are extracted, and in the case of the first start winning, the free entry in the first special figure reservation storage unit 151A And in the case of the second start winning prize, it is stored at the top of the empty entry in the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B.

  The special symbol normal process of S22 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0”. In this special symbol normal process, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol are based on the presence / absence of reserved data stored in the first special symbol reservation storage unit 151A and the second special diagram reservation storage unit 151B. It is determined whether or not to start the special game using the display device 4B. In the special symbol normal process, whether the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is “big hit” based on the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result, Make a decision (predetermined) before being displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal process, corresponding to the change display result of the special symbol in the special symbol game, the confirmed special symbol (display symbol) in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. Either a big win symbol or a lost symbol) is set. In the special symbol normal process, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “1” when the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is determined in advance.

  The variation pattern setting process of S23 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In the variation pattern setting process, the variation pattern is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns using numerical data indicating the variation pattern determination random value MR3 based on a result of prior determination as to whether or not the variation display result is “big hit”. The process of determining is included. When the variation pattern setting process is executed and the variation display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “2”.

  By the special symbol normal process in S22 and the variation pattern setting process in S23, a variation pattern including the variation display time of the confirmed special symbol, the special symbol, and the effect symbol that is the variation display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing are performed using the special symbol display result determination random number MR1, the jackpot type determination random value MR2, and the variation pattern determination random value MR3. Including a process for determining the variation display mode.

  The special symbol variation process of S24 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. The special symbol variation process includes a process for setting the special symbol to be varied in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. The process etc. which measure are included. For example, every time the special symbol variation process of S24 is executed, the special diagram variation timer value, which is the stored value in the special diagram variation timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153, is decremented or incremented by one. Regardless of whether the game is a special game using the first special graphic in the special symbol display device 4A or a special game using the second special graphic in the second special symbol display device 4B, it is passed by a common timer. Time measurements are taken. It is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached a special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. As described above, the special symbol variation process of S24 is performed in the special symbol variation in the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. It suffices if it is a process for controlling the variation of the special symbol in the special figure game using the game by a common processing routine. When the elapsed time since the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “3”.

  The special symbol stop process of S25 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In the special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B stops the variation of the special symbol, and stops and displays (derives) the fixed special symbol that is the variation display result of the special symbol. The process to set for is included. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on. If the big hit flag is on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”. Is done. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit release pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. The pre-opening process for jackpots includes a process for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot game state and setting the open prize opening state based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “hit” It is. At this time, for example, whether the big hit type is "probable big hit A", "probable big hit B", "probable big hit C", "non-probable big hit A", "non-probable big hit B", or "non-probable big hit C" Corresponding to the above, an upper limit of a period during which the special winning opening is opened may be set. As an example, regardless of the type of jackpot, the upper limit of the period during which the big winning opening is opened is set to “29 seconds”, and the number of opening of the big winning opening that is the upper limit number of times to execute the round is set to “probability big hit A ”,“ Non-probability variation big hit A ”or“ non-probability variation big hit B ”, it is only necessary to set it to the normally open big hit state by setting“ 15 times ”. On the other hand, when the big hit type is “probable big hit B” or “non-probable big hit C”, the number of times of opening the big winning opening, which is the upper limit number of times to execute the round, is set to “10 times”, so that it is normally opened. It is only necessary to set the big hit state. When the big hit type is “probable big hit C”, by setting the number of times of opening of the big winning opening which is the upper limit number of times to execute the round to “5 times”, It is only necessary to set the normal open big hit state. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”.

  The big hit release process of S27 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. The big hit opening process includes a process for measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is in the open state, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. The process etc. which determine whether it became the timing which returns to a closed state from an open state are included. Then, when returning the grand prize opening to the closed state, after performing processing for stopping the supply of the solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “6”. .

  The big hit release post-processing in S28 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-hit opening process, the process of determining whether or not the number of rounds in which the winning opening is in the open state has reached the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening, or the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening has been reached. In some cases, processing for setting to transmit a jackpot end designation command is included. When the number of round executions has not reached the maximum value of the number of times of winning the special winning opening, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”. The value of the process flag is updated to “7”.

  The big hit end processing of S29 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. In this jackpot end process, a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect as an effect operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state is executed by the effect display device 5, the speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect lamp 9 and the like is executed. A process of waiting until time elapses, a process of performing various settings (setting of a probability change flag and a time reduction flag) for starting probability change control and time reduction control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state, and the like are included. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  In the big hit end process, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is read, and the big hit types are “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B”, “probable big hit C”, “non-probable big hit” Whether “A”, “non-probable variation big hit B”, or “non-probable big hit C” is specified. If it is determined that the specified big hit type is not “non-probable variation big hit A”, “non-probable variation big hit B” or “non-probable variation big hit C”, a setting for starting the probability variation control (setting of the probability variation flag) ).

  In addition, according to the specified jackpot type, a setting for starting the time-shortening control (setting of the time-shortening flag and a predetermined count initial value (“200”) corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game that can be executed during the time-shortening control) , “100”, “50”, or “20”) is set to the hourly number counter.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S22 of FIG. 30 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 31, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special figure holding storage number is “0” (S141). The second special figure holding memory number is the holding memory number of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of S141, the second pending storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting unit 154 may be read and it may be determined whether or not the read value is “0”.

  When the second special figure reservation storage number is other than “0” in S141 (S141; N), as the special data stored in correspondence with the reservation number “1” in the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B, Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the display result, the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern are read out (S142). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation.

  Subsequent to the processing of S142, the second special figure reserved memory number count value and the total reserved memory number count value are decremented by 1 and updated, thereby causing the second special figure reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number to be decremented by one. And the data in the second special figure reservation storage unit are updated. Specifically, the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B indicates the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number “1” (for example, entries corresponding to the reservation numbers “2” to “4”). Data is shifted up by one entry (S143). Thereafter, the variable special figure designation buffer value, which is the stored value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer, is updated to “2” (S144), and then the process proceeds to S149.

  On the other hand, when the second special figure reserved memory number is “0” in S141 (S141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure reserved memory number is “0” (S145). The first special figure reserved memory number is the reserved memory number of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of S145, the game control counter setting unit 154 reads the first reserved memory number count value stored in the first reserved memory number counter, and determines whether or not the read value is “0”. . In this way, the process of S145 is executed when it is determined in S141 that the second special figure hold memory number is “0”, and whether or not the first special figure hold memory number is “0”. Determine. Thereby, execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is started in preference to the special figure game using the first special figure.

  It should be noted that the special game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed in preference to the special game using the first special figure. For example, the first start prize opening and the second start prize opening may be used as game balls. The special figure game may be started in the order in which the player enters (passes) and the start prize is generated. In this case, a table for storing data that can specify the order in which the start winnings are specified is provided, and the execution of the special game using the first special figure or the second special figure is started from the stored data. If it can be determined.

  When the number of first special figure hold storage is other than “0” in S145 (S145; N), the special data is stored as the hold data corresponding to the hold number “1” in the first special figure hold storage unit 151A. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the display result, the random value MR2 for determining the big hit type, and the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern are read out (S146). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation.

  Subsequent to the processing of S146, the first special figure reserved memory number count value and the total reserved memory number count value are decremented by 1 and updated, thereby causing the first special figure reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number to be decremented by one. In addition, the data in the first special figure storage unit is updated. Specifically, the first special figure reservation storage unit 151A holds the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in entries lower than the hold number “1” (for example, entries corresponding to the hold numbers “2” to “4”). The data is shifted up by one entry (S147). Thereafter, the variable special figure designation buffer value, which is the stored value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer, is updated to “1” (S148), and then the process proceeds to S149.

  In S149, the display result determination table of FIG. 6 is selected and set as a use table for determining whether the special symbol display result, which is the special symbol variation display result, is “big hit” or “losing”. . Next, the numerical data indicating the special figure display result determination random number MR1 stored in the fluctuation random number buffer is compared with the determination values assigned to the special figure display results of “big hit” and “losing”. Then, it is determined whether the special figure display result is “big hit” or “lost” (S150). In S150, if the gaming state at that time is a high probability state in which the probability variation flag is set, if the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result falls within the range of 10,000 to 12180, it is determined as “big hit”. If not applicable, it is determined as “lost”. Also, if the probability variation flag is not set, if the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result falls within the range of 1 to 219, it is determined as “big hit”, and if not, “lost” Is determined.

  In this way, in the special figure display result determination table selected in S149, different determination values are assigned to the “big hit” corresponding to the gaming state (high probability, low probability) at that time. In this process, the special figure display result is determined as “big hit” using different judgment data (judgment value) depending on whether or not the gaming state when the variable display of the special figure game or the like is started is a high probability state. In the case where the gaming state is a high probability state, it is determined as a “big hit” with a higher probability than in the case where the gaming state is a low probability state.

  After the special figure display result is determined in S150, it is determined whether or not the special figure display result is “big hit” (S151). When it is determined in S151 that it is not “big hit” (S151; N), the CPU 103 determines a display symbol for determining a display symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. As the table, the display symbol determination table for losing shown in FIG. 28 (for the first special figure / second special figure) is selected (S156a). The CPU 103 then displays the display symbols to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B based on the display symbol determination table for detachment (for the first special symbol / second special symbol). The pattern 21 is determined (S156b), and the process proceeds to S157.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is a “hit” (S151; Y), the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is set to the on state (S152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 7A is selected and set as a use table for determining the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types (S153). By referring to the set big hit type determination table, the numerical data indicating the random number MR2 for determining the big hit type stored in the random number buffer for fluctuation, and “probable big hit A”, “probable big hit B” in the big hit type determination table ”,“ Probability variation big hit C ”,“ Non-probability variation big hit A ”,“ Non-probability variation big hit B ”,“ Non-probability variation big hit C ”,“ Risk big hit C ”Which of the judgment values assigned to each big hit type matches? Accordingly, it is determined which of the plurality of types is the jackpot type (S154).

  By determining the big hit type in the process of S154, the gaming state after the big hit gaming state is controlled to either the short time state or the probable change state having a higher advantage for the player than the short time state. It is determined by S155a-S155d before derivation of the fixed special symbol as the variable display result. Corresponding to the determined jackpot type, for example, by setting a jackpot type buffer value that is a stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 (S155), the determined jackpot type is stored. To do. If the big hit type is “probable big hit A”, the big hit type buffer value is “1”, if “big change big hit B”, the big hit type buffer value is “2”, and if the big hit type is “probable big hit C”. The big hit type buffer value is “3”, if “non-probable variation big hit A”, the big hit type buffer value is “4”, and if the big hit type is “non-probable variable big hit B”, the big hit type buffer value is “5”. If the big hit type is “non-probable variable big hit C”, the big hit type buffer value may be “6”, and if the big hit type is “surprise big hit”, the big hit type buffer value may be “7”.

  Next, the jackpot type is confirmed based on the jackpot type buffer value stored in S154 (S155a). Further, in order to recognize whether the base state of the game is a high base state or a low base state, the state of the time reduction flag is confirmed (S155b). Then, the specific calculation shown in FIG. 8 is executed based on the data in the specific calculation table of FIG. 8 using the jackpot type confirmed in S155a and the time flag checked in S155b (S155c), and the specific calculation The calculation result is stored in the specific calculation result storage area (S155d). As a result, when it is determined to be a big hit, it is shown in FIG. 8 based on the big hit type of the big hit and the base state when the big hit is determined at the timing before the start of the fluctuation display that becomes the big hit. Such a specific calculation is executed and the calculation result is stored.

  After execution of S155d, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the variable special figure designation buffer value updated in S144 or S148 is “1”, that is, the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. Is determined (S156c). When the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is “1”, that is, when the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure (S156c; Y), the display design determination table for the first special figure corresponding to the jackpot type is selected. (S156d). Specifically, if the jackpot type buffer set in S155 is “1”, the probability variation jackpot A display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) in FIG. 15 is selected, and the jackpot type buffer set in S155 is “2”. 16 is selected, the probability variation big hit B display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) in FIG. 16 is selected. If the big hit type buffer set in S155 is “3”, the probability variation big hit C display symbol determination in FIG. 17 is determined. If the table (for the first special figure) is selected, and the big hit type buffer set in S155 is “4”, the non-probable variable big hit A display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) in FIG. 18 is selected, and S155 If the big hit type buffer set in step 5 is “5”, the display symbol determination table for the uncertain change big hit B shown in FIG. 19 (for the first special figure) is selected, and if the big hit type buffer set in S155 is “6”. 20 non- It may be selected varying big hit C display symbol determination table (for the first Japanese view). If the big hit type buffer set in S155 is “7”, the display table for determining the sudden big hit (for the first special figure) in FIG. 21 may be selected.

  When the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is not “1”, that is, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is “2” and the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure (S156c; N), it corresponds to the jackpot type A display symbol determination table for the second special figure is selected (S156e). Specifically, if the big hit type buffer set in S155 is “1”, the probability variation big hit A display symbol determination table (for the second special figure) in FIG. 22 is selected, and the big hit type buffer set in S155 is “2”. ”Is selected, the display design determination table for probability variation big hit B (for the second special figure) in FIG. 23 is selected. If the big hit type buffer set in S155 is“ 3 ”, the display design for probability variation big hit C in FIG. 24 is determined. If the table (for the second special figure) is selected, and if the big hit type buffer set in S155 is "4", the non-probable variable big hit A display symbol determination table (for the second special figure) in FIG. 25 is selected, and S155 If the jackpot type buffer set in step 5 is “5”, the non-probable big hit B display symbol determination table (for the second special figure) in FIG. 26 is selected, and if the jackpot type buffer set in S155 is “6”. Figure 27 non- Selecting varying big hit C display symbol determination table (for second Laid view).

  After execution of S156d or S156e, the display symbols derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B based on the display symbol determination table selected in S156d or S156e and the random value MR2. Is determined to be one of pattern 0 to pattern 20 (S156f), and the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “1” which is a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (S157), and then the special symbol normal process is performed. finish.

  In S145, when the number of reserved figures stored in the special figure game using the first special figure is “0” (S145; Y), a predetermined demonstration display setting is performed (S158), and then the special symbol normal process is terminated. To do. In this demonstration display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo designation command) for designating demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the effect display device 5 is effect control from the main board 11. It is determined whether or not transmission to the substrate 12 has been completed. At this time, if the customer waiting demonstration designation command has already been transmitted, the demonstration display setting is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is not transmitted, the setting for transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed, and then the demonstration display setting is terminated.

  FIG. 32 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process executed in S23 of FIG. 30 as the variation pattern setting process. In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 32, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the big hit flag is on (S161). If the big hit flag is on (S161; Y), the big hit variation pattern determination table corresponding to the specific calculation result is selected and set as a use table for determining the variation pattern as one of a plurality of types (S162). ). Specifically, in S162, the specific calculation result stored in S155d is read and confirmed, and the variation pattern determination table corresponding to the confirmed specific calculation result is changed to the variation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. Choose from. As a result, when it is determined to be a big hit, it is possible to select and determine the variation pattern at a rate set corresponding to the specific calculation result at the timing before the start of the variation display.

  When the big hit flag is off in S161 (S161; N), for example, by determining whether or not the short time flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on (set), etc. It is determined whether or not the short-time control is being performed when the short-time control is performed in the certain change state or the short-time state (S163). If the time reduction flag is on (S163; Y), the variation pattern determination table for loss D is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of types of variation patterns (S164).

  On the other hand, when the time reduction control is not being performed, that is, when the time reduction flag is OFF (not set) (S163; N), for example, the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 By reading the stored value or the like, the total reserved memory number is specified, and it is determined whether or not the specified total reserved memory number is 2 or more (S165).

  If the specified total number of reserved memories is not 2 or more (S165; N), the variation pattern determination table A for loss is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of types of variation patterns ( S166).

  If the specified total number of reserved memories is 2 or more (S165; Y), the process proceeds to S167 to further determine whether or not the total number of reserved memories is 5 or more (S167).

  When the total number of reserved memories is not 5 or more (S167; N), the variation pattern determination table B for loss is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of types of variation patterns (S168). .

  Further, when the total number of reserved memories is 5 or more (S167; Y), the variation pattern determination table C for loss is selected and set as a use table for determining any one of a plurality of types of variation patterns. (S169).

  After executing any of the processes of S162, S164, S166, S168, and S169, the data is selected based on, for example, numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination stored in the variation random number buffer or the like By referring to either the big hit variation pattern determination table or the loss variation pattern determination tables A to D, the variation pattern is determined as one of a plurality of types (S170).

  When the big hit flag is off, it is determined whether or not the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “reach” by determining the variation pattern in the process of S170. That is, the process of S170 includes a process of determining whether or not to change the variation display state of the effect symbol to the reach state when the variation display result is “losing”.

  After the variation pattern is determined in S170, the special symbol game using the first special symbol of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B of the second special symbol display device 4B according to the variable special symbol designation buffer value. A setting for starting the variation of the special symbol is performed so as to start any one of the special game using the special diagram (S171). As an example, if the variable special symbol designation buffer value is “1”, setting is made to transmit a drive signal for updating the display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A. On the other hand, if the variable special symbol designation buffer value is “2”, a setting is made to transmit a drive signal for updating the display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B.

  Subsequent to the processing of S171, settings are made to transmit various commands for use in starting the special symbol fluctuation (S172). For example, when the variation special figure designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 sends a gaming state designation command, a first variation start command, a variation pattern designation command, a variation display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the notification command and the first pending storage number notification command, the game control buffer setting unit 155 stores setting data indicating the storage address (first address) in the ROM 101 of the first variation start command table prepared in advance. Is stored in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer. On the other hand, when the variation special figure designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 sends a game state designation command, a second variation start command, a variation pattern designation command, a variation display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the notification command and the second pending storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second variation start command table prepared in advance is designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. Stored in the buffer area.

  After executing the process of S172, a special figure fluctuation time which is a fluctuation display time of a special symbol according to the determination result of the fluctuation pattern is set (S173). The special figure fluctuation time, which is the fluctuation display time of the special symbol, is the time required from the start of the fluctuation of the special symbol in the special figure game until the fixed special symbol that becomes the fluctuation display result (special figure display result) is derived and displayed. It is. Thereafter, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “2” which is a value corresponding to the special symbol fluctuation process (S174), and then the fluctuation pattern setting process is terminated.

  Each time the command control process of S17 shown in FIG. 29 is executed after the variation pattern setting process is completed based on the command transmission setting in S172, a game state designation command is sent from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The first variation start command or the second variation start command, the variation pattern designation command, the variation display result notification command, the first reserved storage number notification command, or the second reserved storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. The order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the first variation start command, the second variation start command, or the variation pattern designation command is transmitted after the variation display result notification command is transmitted first. The game state designation command, the first reserved memory number notification command, the second reserved memory number notification command, and the like may be transmitted in this order.

  It should be noted that the timing before the variable display based on the start prize to the first start prize opening or the second start prize opening is started, specifically, the game ball starts at the first start prize opening or the second start prize opening. At the timing of winning (the timing at which the stored memory information is stored), the stored memory information storing various data obtained at the time of starting winning is prefetched, and whether or not a big hit is made in advance based on the prestored stored memory information Determination, jackpot type determination, and variation pattern determination based on the jackpot determination value, jackpot type determination value, and variation pattern type determination value set corresponding to the various random numbers described above. The winning effect production process may be executed. By doing so, the effect control CPU 120 predicts the change display result in advance before the change display of the effect symbol based on the start winning is executed, and based on various determination results at the start winning, the effect It is possible to execute a pre-reading effect such as a pre-reading notice for notifying that a big hit (possibility of a big hit) is made during the display of the variation of the symbol. The pre-reading effect may be executed over a plurality of continuous fluctuation displays, or may be executed in a single fluctuation display.

  When performing such a pre-reading effect, a pre-reading processing program (module) for pre-reading the stored storage information storing various data obtained at the time of winning the start is shared with the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing described above. Thus, a configuration in which the above-described special symbol normal process and variation pattern setting process are executed in the prefetch process to prefetch the reserved storage information may be employed. In that case, the specific calculation as described above may be similarly executed in the special symbol normal process or the like, and the prefetch effect may be executed based on the specific calculation result. In this case, the amount of information processing to be executed in the prefetching process may increase due to the fact that the processing content of the prefetching process is shared with the special symbol normal process and the variation pattern setting process described above. Thus, the program capacity of the entire game control can be reduced.

  Further, as shown in S163 to S169, different variation pattern determination tables for loss are used based on whether the time reduction flag is set, that is, based on whether the base state is the low base state or the high base state. Although an example of determining the variation pattern has been shown, the losing symbol is divided into two types, a losing symbol for the low base state and a losing symbol for the high base state, and the losing symbol is determined in the special symbol normal processing. In S163, the processing may be branched according to the type of the lost symbol (for low base state / for high base state) (for example, in the case of a loss for the low base state, the process proceeds to S165, where the high base If the state is lost, the process branches to advance to S174).

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S25 of FIG. 30 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop process, the CPU 103 sets an end flag referred to in the special symbol display control process of S32 to end the variation of the special symbol, and the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B Control for deriving and displaying the stop symbol is performed (S181). When the fluctuation special symbol designation buffer value is “1” indicating the first special symbol, the fluctuation of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display device 4A is terminated, and the fluctuation special symbol designation buffer value is the second In the case of “2” indicating the special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B is terminated. Further, control for transmitting a symbol confirmation command to the effect control board 12 is performed (S182). Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is set (S183). If the big hit flag is not set (S183; N), the process proceeds to S190a.

  On the other hand, if the big hit flag is set (S183; Y), if the probability change flag or the time reduction flag is set, the probability change flag and the time reduction flag are cleared (S184) and stored in the effect control board 12 Depending on the type of jackpot, jackpot start 1 designation command (probability variation jackpot A), jackpot start 2 designation command (probability variation jackpot B), jackpot start 3 designation command (probability variation jackpot C), jackpot start 4 designation command (non-probability variation jackpot A) ), A jackpot start 5 designation command (non-probability variation big hit B), a jackpot start 6 designation command (non-probability variation big hit C), and a jackpot start 7 designation command (surprising probability big hit) are set (S185).

  Further, the CPU 103 makes settings for transmitting a game state designation command indicating the normal state to the effect control board 12 (S186).

  Then, the jackpot display time timer that measures the effect time of the big hit start effect is the effect time of the big hit start effect corresponding to the specific calculation result (for example, the effect time for informing the effect display device 5 that the big hit has occurred, A value corresponding to the jackpot start effect time is set (S187). Specifically, in S187, the specific calculation result stored in S155d is read and confirmed, and the big hit start production time of the big hit start production corresponding to the confirmed specific calculation result is shown in the big hit start production selection table shown in FIG. And a value corresponding to the selected jackpot start presentation time is set in the jackpot display time timer. Thereby, when it is determined to be a big hit, it is possible to execute the big hit start effect with the big hit start effect time set corresponding to the specific calculation result. Also, according to the type of jackpot to be executed, the release pattern data stored in the ROM 101 is referred to, and data indicating the release mode such as the number of releases, the release time, and the interval time between rounds is set in a predetermined storage area ( S188). As an example, the number of times of opening is 15 for probability variable big hit A, non-probable big hit A, and non-probable big hit B, 10 for positive variable big hit B and non-probable big hit C, and for positive variable big hit C. In the case of 5 hits and a big hit, 2 is set in the release counter. In the big hit gaming state, the big prize opening is opened based on this opening mode. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “4” which is a value corresponding to the big hit release pre-processing (S26) (S189).

  In S190a, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S190a). When the time reduction flag is not set, the process proceeds to S196. On the other hand, when the time reduction flag is set, it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is “0” (S190). When the value of the time reduction counter is “0” (S190; Y), the process proceeds to S196.

  On the other hand, when the value of the time reduction counter is not “0” (S190; N), that is, in the high base state where the time reduction count remains, the value of the time reduction counter is decremented by 1 (S191). . Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter after subtraction is “0” (S193). If it is not “0” (S193; N), the process proceeds to S196, and the value of the time reduction counter is “0”. ”(S193; Y), in order to end the time reduction control, after clearing the time reduction flag (S194), the gaming state corresponding to the probability change flag or the setting state of the time reduction flag (specifically low probability low After setting the transmission of the game state designation command corresponding to (base) (S195), the process proceeds to S196. In S196, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “0” which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process, and then the special symbol stop process is terminated.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S29 of FIG. 30 as the big hit end process.

  In the jackpot end process, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer for measuring the effect time of the jackpot end effect is in operation, that is, whether the timer is being counted (S201). When the jackpot end display timer is not in operation (S201; N), the specific calculation result stored in S155d is read and confirmed, and the jackpot end effect corresponding to the confirmed specific calculation result is shown in FIG. By selecting from the selection table, the jackpot end effect time (time for performing the jackpot end effect in the effect display device 5) is determined (S202). Then, a value corresponding to the jackpot end effect time determined in S202 is set in the jackpot end display timer (S203). Then, the transmission setting of the jackpot end designation command specifying the jackpot end effect determined in S202 is performed (S204). Thereby, when it is determined to be a big hit, it is possible to execute the big hit end effect in the big hit end effect time set corresponding to the specific calculation result.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot end display timer is operating (S201; Y), the value of the jackpot end display timer is decremented by 1 (S205). Then, the CPU 103 checks whether or not the value of the jackpot end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the jackpot end display time has elapsed (S206). If not, the process ends.

  When the big hit end display time has elapsed (S206; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether the stored big hit type is the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, the probability variation big hit C, or the sudden hit big hit (S207). . When the big hit type is one of the probable big hit A, the probable big hit B, the probable big hit C, or the sudden big hit (S207; Y), the probability changing flag is set (S208), and the process proceeds to S209. On the other hand, if the big hit type is not one of the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit B, the probability variation big hit C, or the sudden probability big hit (S207; N), the process proceeds to S209 without setting the probability variation flag.

  In S209, the specific calculation result stored in S155d is read and confirmed, and the time duration duration (including no time reduction control) corresponding to the confirmed specific calculation result is selected using the time selection table shown in FIG. Thus, based on the specific calculation result, the presence / absence of the time-saving control and the duration (number of continuations) of the time-saving control are determined. As a result, when it is determined to be a big hit, at the timing before the start of the variable display, it is determined whether or not to perform the time reduction control after the end of the big hit gaming state, and the duration (number of times of continuation) when the time reduction control is executed. The decision is made.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the decision to execute the time reduction control is made at S209 (S210). When the decision to execute the time reduction control is made, the time reduction flag is set (S211). Then, the value of the continuation number of the time reduction control determined in S209 is set in the time reduction number counter for counting the continuation time (continuation period) of the time reduction (S212), and the process proceeds to S213. On the other hand, when it is determined not to execute the time reduction control in S209, the process proceeds to S213 without setting the time reduction flag.

  In S213, the big hit flag is reset. Then, after setting the transmission of the game state designation command for notifying the effect control board 12 of the game state based on the set probability change flag and the time reduction flag (S215), the value of the special figure process flag is set to the special symbol normal process. The corresponding value is updated to “0” (S216).

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, as described in FIGS. 9 to 12 and FIGS. 31 to 34, when it is determined to be a big hit, the determined big hit type, Based on the specific calculation result stored as the calculation result of the specific calculation using the gaming state when it is determined to do, determination of the variation pattern type of the variable display that becomes the big hit (see FIG. 12), the big hit Determination of the jackpot start effect type (effect time) (see FIG. 9), determination of the jackpot end effect type (effect time) of the jackpot (see FIG. 10), determination of whether or not the short-time control after the end of the jackpot gaming state ( 11), and determination of the type of time-saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming state (number of times of time reduction) (see FIG. 11).

  Thus, when a predetermined setting is made using a specific calculation, the specific calculation is performed once and the calculation result is stored, and each time the predetermined setting is made, the stored information of the calculation result is read and the predetermined setting is performed. Therefore, the code capacity of the program when performing control related to the advantageous gaming state such as the big hit gaming state is compared with the case where the specific calculation is performed every time a predetermined setting is made and the setting is performed. This can reduce the information processing burden.

  In addition, based on the specific calculation result, by determining the presence or absence of time-saving control after the end of the big hit gaming state, and determining the type of time-saving control after the end of the big hit gaming state (number of times of short-time continuation), Since the later game state is set, the game interest can be improved by performing the game control in accordance with the game situation when the big hit is determined.

  Also, by determining the variation pattern type of the fluctuation display that will be a big hit based on the specific calculation result, whether or not to make a big hit and the notification mode of the determination result of the big hit type (for example, the type of reach fluctuation pattern that will be a big hit) In addition, the jackpot start effect time and the jackpot end effect time are also set), so that the game is controlled according to the game situation when the decision to win is made, thereby improving the interest of the game Can do.

  Also, by determining the control time in the big hit gaming state, such as the big hit start production time and the big hit end production time when transitioning to the big hit gaming state based on the specific calculation result, the control time in the big hit gaming state is determined. Since it is set, the game interest can be improved by performing the game control according to the game situation when the big hit is determined.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing an effect control main process executed by the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12. The effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (S51). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When the timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (turned on) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53) and executes the following process.

  The effect control CPU 120 first analyzes the received effect control command and performs a process of setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis process: S54). In the command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the content of the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal, and is stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM. In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) the effect control command stored in the buffer area is.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, an effect random number update process for updating the counter value for generating effect random numbers such as jackpot symbol determination random numbers is executed (S56). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S52.

  The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM. In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) the effect control command stored in the buffer area is.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) in the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first uses the hold memory display in the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U of the effect display device 5 as the stored contents of the start winning reception command buffer. A hold display update process for updating to the corresponding display is executed (S72).

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs any one of S73 to S79 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (S73): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern command is received from the game control microcomputer 100. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the variation pattern command reception flag set in the command analysis process is set. If the change pattern command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol change start process (S74).

  Effect symbol variation start processing (S74): Control is performed so that the variation of the effect symbol starts. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S75).

  Production symbol variation processing (S75): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitors the end of the variation time. When the variation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (S76).

  Production symbol variation stop processing (S76): Based on the reception of the production control command (design confirmation command) for instructing all symbols to be stopped, control is performed to stop the variation of the production symbol and derive and display the display result (stop symbol). Do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (S77) or the variation pattern command reception wait process (S73).

  Big hit display process (S77): After the end of the fluctuation time, a big hit start effect including control for displaying a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of the big hit is performed in response to reception of the big hit start designation command. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit game processing (S78). As shown in FIG. 9, there are a plurality of types of jackpot start effects, and in the jackpot display process, a jackpot start designation command is specified based on the rendering time and the rendering mode corresponding to each of the plurality of types of jackpot start effects. Execute the type of jackpot start effect.

  Big hit game processing (S78): Control during the big hit game is performed. For example, when receiving a special command during opening of the special prize opening or a designation command after opening the special prize opening, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot end effect process (S79).

  Big-hit end effect processing (S79): In response to the reception of the big-hit end designation command, the effect display device 5 performs a big-hit end effect including display control for notifying the player that the big-hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern command reception waiting process (S73). As shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of types of jackpot end effects are provided. In the jackpot end effect processing, the jackpot end effects are processed based on the effect time and the effect mode set for each of the plurality of types of jackpot end effects. A jackpot end effect of the type specified by the end specification command is executed. When the jackpot end effect is executed by the jackpot end effect process, if a jackpot end effect with an effect time longer than a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) is designated, a notice of forgetting to remove a game card (for example, a game card) A message such as “Please take care not to forget!” Is displayed on the effect display device 5). Thereby, the notification according to the game situation can be performed.

  In addition, as another example of the effect of performing a specific notification when the jackpot end effect of the effect time of a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) or more is designated, when the probability change state is reached after the jackpot game state is finished, You may notify that it enters into a state. Further, not only the big hit end effect but also the big hit start effect, when an effect time of a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) or more is designated, an effect of performing a predetermined notification in the big hit display process (S77) is performed. May be. For example, when hitting in a big hit game state or during a predetermined game state such as during a short time, the player makes a right strike (shoots a game ball toward the right side of the game area) and left in a normal game state other than the predetermined game state In a pachinko gaming machine with a game form that hits (launches a game ball toward the left side of the game area), when a performance time of a predetermined time or more is designated for a big hit start effect, a right-handed instruction is given May be notified. Thereby, the notification according to the game situation when shifting to the advantageous game state such as the big hit game state can be made.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing an effect symbol variation start process (S74) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the effect symbol variation start process, the effect control CPU 120 first displays various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number of the first special figure holding memory in the start winning prize received command buffer, buffer number 1. The data is shifted upward by one (S272). The contents of the first buffer number are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift.

  After execution of S272, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (S275).

  Next, data stored in the display result specifying command storage area (that is, the received variable display result specifying command) is read (S276), and whether the read variable display result specifying command is the first variable display result specifying command. It is determined whether or not the change display result is out of order (S276a). When the read variation display result designation command is the first variation display result designation command (S276a; Y), the stop symbol of the effect symbol corresponding to the deviation is determined (S276b), and the process proceeds to S281. In S276b, for example, if the variation pattern command read out in S275 is a non-reach variation pattern command, the CPU 120 for effect control determines a combination of representation symbols in which all three symbols are different (“148”, “392”, etc.), If the variation pattern command read in S275 is a reach variation pattern command, the combination of effect symbols (“121”, “434”, etc.) that will be out of reach may be determined.

  If the read variation display result designation command is not the first variation display result designation command, that is, if it is a big hit (S276b; N), the stop symbol of the effect design corresponding to the jackpot type indicated by the variation display result designation command Is determined (S276c). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 38, when the variation display result designation command is the second variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit A, the effect control CPU 120 uses 3 symbols as a stop symbol at a rate of 50%. Is determined to be a combination of effect symbols (“333”) that matches with “3”, and a combination of effect symbols (“777”) that aligns with three symbols as “7” as a stop symbol at a rate of 50%. That is, when the variation display result designation command is the second variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation jackpot A, the stop symbol is determined to be the probability variation symbol “3” or “7” alignment.

  If the variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B, the combination of the production symbols (“222”) in which the three symbols are “2” as the stop symbols at a rate of 50% is determined. Then, the combination of production symbols (“444”) in which three symbols are arranged as “4” as stop symbols at a rate of 50% is determined. When the variation display result designation command is the fourth variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit C, it is determined to be a combination of production symbols (“222”) in which three symbols are aligned with “2” as a stop symbol at a rate of 50%. Then, the combination of production symbols (“444”) in which three symbols are arranged as “4” as stop symbols at a rate of 50% is determined.

  When the variation display result designation command is the fifth variation display result designation command indicating the uncertain variation big hit A, the combination of the production symbols (“666”) in which the three symbols are “6” as the stop symbols at a rate of 50%. The combination of production symbols (“888”) in which three symbols are aligned at “8” as a stop symbol at a rate of 50% is determined. When the variation display result designation command is the sixth variation display result designation command indicating the uncertain variation big hit B, the combination of the production symbols (“666”) in which 3 symbols are arranged as “6” as the stop symbols at a rate of 50%. The combination of production symbols (“888”) in which three symbols are aligned at “8” as a stop symbol at a rate of 50% is determined. When the variation display result designation command is the seventh variation display result designation command indicating the uncertain variation big hit C, the combination of the production symbols (“222”) in which 3 symbols are arranged as “2” as the stop symbols at a rate of 50%. The combination of production symbols (“444”) in which three symbols are arranged as “4” as stop symbols at a rate of 50%. In this way, when the fluctuation display result is a big hit, except for the case where the big hit type is a probable big hit A, the stop symbols are non-probable variable symbols “2”, “4”, “6”, “8”. Decide on either.

  In addition, when the fluctuation display result is a big hit and the big hit type is any one of the probable big hit B, the probable big hit C, and the non-probable big hit C, the three symbols are “2” or “4” as the stop symbols of the production symbols. Since the combination of the production symbols (“222” or “444”) is determined, when the 3 symbols are derived and displayed as “2” or “4” as the stop symbols, the player can select the jackpot type from the stop symbols. It is difficult to specify whether or not is the probability variation big hit B, the probability variation big hit C, or the non-probability big hit C.

  Similarly, when the variation display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a non-probable big hit A or a non-probable big hit B, a combination of directing symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with “6” or “8” as stop symbols of the directing symbols Therefore, when 3 symbols are derived and displayed as “6” or “8” as stop symbols, the player determines whether the big hit type is non-probable big hit A or non-probable big hit B from the stop symbols. It is difficult to identify whether there is any.

  In addition, when the variation display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a probable big hit A, the stop symbol of the production symbol is determined as a combination of the production symbols in which the three symbols are “3” or “7”. Since the only big hit type that has 3 symbols as “3” or “7” as the stop symbol of the game is the probable big hit A, when the 3 symbols are derived and displayed as “3” or “7” as the stop symbol, The person can specify that the jackpot type is a probabilistic jackpot A.

  In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, a stop symbol determination table in which random numbers for determining stop symbols are extracted, and data indicating combinations of effect symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Thus, the stop symbol of the production symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of effect symbols corresponding to the numerical value that matches the extracted random number.

  In addition, when the variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B and the fourth variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit C, the stop symbols are used at a rate of 50% respectively. The combination of the production symbols in which the three symbols are “2” or “4” is determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the case where the variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B and the probability variation big hit. In the case of the fourth variation display result designation command indicating C, a combination of effect symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with “2” as a stop symbol and a combination of effect symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with “4” at different ratios. You may decide. For example, when the display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B, the combination of the production symbols in which 3 symbols are arranged as “2” as the stop symbols at a rate of 75% is displayed. When the result designation command is the fourth variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit C, it is only necessary to determine the combination of the production symbols in which 3 symbols are arranged as “2” as the stop symbols at a rate of 25%.

  3 symbols are arranged as “2” as a stop symbol when the variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B and when the variation display result designation command is the fourth variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit C. When the combination ratio of the effect symbol and the effect symbol combination equal to “4” are determined differently, the effect display device 5 displays a combination of effect symbols whose “3” symbols match as the stop symbol. A jackpot game of probability variation big hit B having a larger number of rounds than probability variation big hit C is executed with a probability of 3/4 (75%). In other words, when the combination of effect symbols with 3 symbols equal to “2” is derived and displayed on the effect display device 5, the jackpot game of the probability variation big hit B having a larger number of rounds than the probability variation big hit C is executed. On the other hand, the player can expect.

  When the variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B and the seventh variation display result designation command indicating the non-probability variation big hit C, 3 as the stop symbols at a rate of 50% respectively. The combination of the production symbols with the symbols “2” or “4” is determined, but the variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B and the non-probability variation big hit C is shown. In the case of the seventh variation display result designation command, the combination of effect symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with “2” and effect symbol combinations in which 3 symbols are aligned with “4” are determined at different rates. Also good. For example, when the display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation big hit B, while determining the combination of the production symbols in which the three symbols are “2” as the stop symbols at a rate of 75%, When the display result designation command is the seventh variation display result designation command indicating the uncertain change big hit C, it is only necessary to determine the combination of the production symbols in which 3 symbols are “2” as stop symbols at a rate of 25%.

  In this way, there are three symbols as stop symbols when the variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command indicating the probability variation jackpot B and when the variation display result designation command is the seventh variation display result designation command indicating the non-probability variation jackpot C. By differentiating the decision rate of the combination of effect symbols that are aligned at "2" and the effect symbol combination that is aligned at "4", the effect display device 5 derives a combination of effect symbols that are aligned with "2" as a stop symbol. When displayed, the jackpot game of probability variation big hit B, which is subjected to probability variation control after the jackpot game ends with a probability of 3/4 (75%), is executed. In other words, when a combination of effect symbols with 3 symbols equal to “2” is derived and displayed on the effect display device 5, the probability change control is not performed after the big hit game, and the probability change control is not performed after the big hit game. The player can expect that the big hit game of the probability big hit B will be executed.

  When the fluctuation display result designation command is the fifth fluctuation display result designation command indicating the non-probable variation big hit A and when it is the sixth fluctuation display result designation command indicating the non-probable variation big hit B, it is stopped at a rate of 50%. When the combination of effect symbols in which three symbols are “6” or “8” is determined as a symbol, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variation display result designation command is the fifth variation display result designation command indicating the uncertain variation big hit A. In the case of the sixth variation display result designation command indicating the non-probable big hit B, a combination of effect symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with “6” as stop symbols and effect symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with “8” at different ratios May be determined. For example, when the display result designation command is the fifth variation display result designation command indicating the non-probable big hit A, the combination of the production symbols in which 3 symbols are “6” as the stop symbols at a rate of 75% is determined and displayed. When the result designation command is the sixth variation display result designation command indicating the uncertain variation big hit B, it is only necessary to determine a combination of effect symbols in which 3 symbols are aligned with “6” as a stop symbol at a rate of 25%.

  In this way, 3 symbols are used as stop symbols when the variation display result designation command is the fifth variation display result designation command indicating the non-probable variation big hit A and when the variation display result designation command is the sixth variation display result designation command indicating the non-probable variation big hit B. By changing the determination ratio of the combination of effect symbols that are aligned at “6” and the effect symbol combination that is aligned at “8”, the effect display device 5 has a combination of effect symbols that are aligned at “6” as a stop symbol on the effect display device 5. When the derivation display is made, the special hit game (fluctuation display) with a large number of special time games (variable display) in which the short-time control is executed after completion of the big hit game with a probability of 3/4 (75%) than the non-probable big hit game B Is executed. That is, when a combination of effect symbols with 3 symbols equal to “6” is derived and displayed on the effect display device 5, a special-purpose game in which the time-shortening control is executed after the big hit game is completed rather than the uncertain change big hit B ( Fluctuation display) The player can expect that the big hit game of the uncertain variable big hit A having a large number of times will be executed.

  In S281, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (S282).

  The process table includes display control execution data for controlling display of the effect display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sound control for controlling sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling operations of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, and the like are sequentially arranged in time series in association with each process data n (from No. 1 to N).

  Next, the production control CPU 120 produces the production device (production as a production component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Control is performed on the display device 5, various lamps as effect parts, speakers 8L and 8R as effect parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) (S283). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the variation pattern on the effect display device 5. In addition, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14 in order to perform on / off control of various lamps. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect pattern to be displayed in a change pattern corresponding to the change pattern designation command in a one-to-one manner. However, the effect control CPU 120 controls the change pattern designation. The variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the command.

  Next, a value corresponding to the variation time specified by the variation pattern designation command is set in the variation time timer (S284). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (S285). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the image data indicating the display state of the left middle right effect symbol to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 is written to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the effect display device 5, and the effect display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing a change in the effect design. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S75) (S286).

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol changing process (S75) in the effect control process. In the effect symbol changing process, the effect control CPU 120 performs the following process. First, the respective values of the process timer, variable time timer, and variable control timer are decremented by 1 (S301, S302, S303).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the process timer has expired (S306). If the process timer has expired, the process data is switched (S307). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the process timer setting value set next in the process table in the process timer (S308). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect part) is changed based on the next set display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, and the like (S309).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation control timer has expired (S310). If the timer is out (S310; Y), the image data of the next display screen of the left middle right effect symbol (screen to be displayed after 30 ms has elapsed since the last effect symbol display switching time) is created, Writing into a predetermined area of the VRAM (S311). Thereby, in the effect display apparatus 5, effect pattern variation control is realized. The display control unit 123 sends a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the effect display device 5. Output. Thereby, in the effect display device 5, the background image, the character image, and the effect symbol in the variation of the effect symbol are displayed. Further, a predetermined value is reset in the fluctuation control timer (S312).

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the variable time timer has expired (S313). If the variation time timer has timed out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (S76) (S315). Even if the variation time timer has not timed out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is set (S314; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is set to the effect symbol variation stop processing ( The value is updated according to S76) (S315). Even if the variation time timer has not timed out, if the symbol confirmation designation command is received, control shifts to stop variation. For example, a variation pattern command indicating a long variation time due to noise between substrates is received. Even in such a case, it is possible to end the variation of the effect symbol when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol ends).

  In the process table used for the variation control of the effect symbol, process data during the variation display of the effect symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the production symbol variation time. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n is timed out in the process of S306, there is no process data to be switched (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.), and the effect control of the effect design based on the process table is completed. To do.

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation stop process (S76) in the effect control process. In the effect symbol variation stop process, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the symbol confirmation command reception flag is set (S851). If the symbol confirmation command reception flag is not set, the effect symbol variation stop processing is terminated. If the symbol confirmation command reception flag is set, the symbol confirmation command reception flag is reset (S852). Control for deriving and displaying the stop symbol determined in S276b or S276c of the variation start process is performed (S853). Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is determined to be a big hit (S854). Whether or not it is determined to be a big hit can be confirmed by, for example, a display result designation command stored in the display result designation command storage area. In this embodiment, it can be confirmed whether or not it is determined to be a big hit based on the determined stop symbol. If it is not determined to be a big hit, the effect symbol stop process is terminated, and if it is determined to be a big hit, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the big hit display process (S804). (S855) and the effect symbol stop process is terminated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the control for performing the predetermined setting according to the specific calculation result is performed by the pachinko machine has been described. However, in such a control, a predetermined bet number is set by inserting medals. , The combination of the stop symbol becomes a specific symbol combination when a plurality of types of symbols are rotated according to the operation of the operation lever by the player, and the symbol on the display means is stopped according to the stop button operation by the player. In this case, the present invention can be applied to a slot machine (slot machine) in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out to a player. A slot machine is an arbitrary gaming machine that performs a predetermined game such as variable display of symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information and that can be assigned a predetermined game value based on the game result, and more specifically, A variable display device that can start a game by setting a predetermined number of bets (the number of medals or credits) for one game and variably displays a plurality of types of identification information (designs) that can be identified The display result of (for example, a plurality of reels) is derived and displayed, and one game is completed. According to the display result, a prize (for example, a cherry prize, a watermelon prize, a bell prize, a replay prize, a BB prize, an RB prize, CB winning etc.) can be generated. For example, the type (first value) of the advantageous gaming state such as the penetrating RB and CB, and whether or not the player is won during the replay time (a state in which the probability of occurrence of a specific winning is increased) (second) Specific operation based on the result of the calculation, and depending on the result of the calculation, the type of winning role (usually short-time wins for the bell win, winning the cherry wins during the replay time), reel control type, freeze effect (stop) It is only necessary to select and determine a predetermined setting such as the presence / absence of an effect (notification of winning or the like) by delaying the timing for enabling the button operation.

Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
(1) As in S155a to S155d in FIG. 31, a specific calculation is performed based on the big hit type and the base state when it is determined to be a big hit, and the calculation result of the specific calculation is stored and stored. The calculated results are the determination of the fluctuation pattern in S162, S170, and S173 in FIG. 32, the determination of the jackpot start effect time in S186a and S187 in FIG. 33, the determination of the jackpot end effect time in S202 and S203 in FIG. Are used for predetermined settings such as determination of the presence / absence of time reduction control in S202 and S203 and determination of the number of times of time reduction control continuation in S209 and S212 of FIG. Thus, when a predetermined setting is made using a specific calculation, the specific calculation is performed once and the calculation result is stored, and each time the predetermined setting is made, the stored information of the calculation result is read and the predetermined setting is performed. Compared to the case where a specific calculation is performed every time a predetermined setting is performed and the setting is performed, the information processing burden when performing control related to an advantageous gaming state such as a big hit gaming state is reduced. it can.

  (2) When the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B shift to the advantageous game state such as the big hit game state, the non-probable big hit AC, the probable big hit AC, and Since the display results according to the types of a plurality of types of advantageous game states such as the winning big hits are derived and displayed, it is possible to grasp the advantageous game states and improve the interest of the game.

  (3) As shown in S155d of FIG. 31, a specific calculation is performed once and the calculation results are stored, S162, S170, S173 of FIG. 32, S186a, S187 of FIG. 33, S202, S203 of FIG. As shown in S209 and S212 of FIG. 34, when a predetermined setting is made using a specific calculation, the predetermined setting is made using the storage information of the calculation result, so that when the control related to the advantageous gaming state is performed The information processing burden can be further reduced.

  (4) As shown in S186a and S187 in FIG. 33 and S202 and S203 in FIG. 34, when shifting to the advantageous gaming state such as the big hit gaming state, according to the calculation result of the stored specific calculation, Since predetermined effect times such as the big hit start effect time and the big hit end effect time are set, it is possible to produce effects according to the game situation when shifting to the advantageous game state.

  (5) As described in S79 of FIG. 36, when a predetermined effect time such as the jackpot end effect time is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, a notice of forgetting to remove the game card is executed. It is possible to make a notification according to the situation.

  (6) As shown in FIGS. 15 to 27, the number of pieces of identification information derived and displayed as display results on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is advantageous games such as jackpot type Since it differs depending on the type of state, it is possible to reduce the capacity for storing identification information corresponding to the type of advantageous gaming state such as the big hit gaming state while improving the interest of the game.

  (7) For example, the number of display symbols corresponding to the case where the jackpot type is a probability variation jackpot A is one, and the display symbol corresponding to the case where the jackpot type is a non-probability variation jackpot A or a non-probability variation jackpot B As described above that the number of patterns is three, the number of display symbols corresponding to the probability variation big hit A derived and displayed as the display result is the probability variation big hit B and non-probability big hit C derived and displayed as the display result. Since it is less than the number of corresponding display symbols, it can be specified that the game will be a big hit game with a probable big hit A by the combination of the production symbols, but it is derived to the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. Since it is possible to prevent the display design from being displayed from becoming difficult to understand that it is a big hit game of probability variation big hit A, the interest of the game can be improved.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 that can obtain such an effect is configured as follows. Variable display is performed based on the fact that the start condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball has won at the first start winning opening or the second starting winning opening), and the display result of the identification information (for example, special symbol) is derived and displayed. It is advantageous for the player when a predetermined display result (for example, a big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the variable display means (for example, the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B). A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1) that is controlled to a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit gaming state),
Predetermining means (for example, a part where the CPU 103 executes special symbol normal processing) for determining whether or not the display result in the variable display means is the specific display result before the display result is derived;
The type of the specific gaming state to be controlled when the predetermination means determines that the specific display result is to be used is a first specific gaming state (for example, probability variation big hit A), a second specific gaming state (for example, non- Specific game state type determination means (for example, CPU 103 in the special symbol normal process S153, S154) determined based on the determination value assigned to each of the probability variation big hit A) and the third specific gaming state (for example, non-probability big hit B). Part to execute)
When the first specific game state is determined by the specific game state type determining means, the variable display is executed a first number of times (for example, 100 times) after controlling the first specific game state as the specific game state. Control is made to an advantageous gaming state (for example, a short time state) in which at least one of the establishment condition of the start condition and the execution frequency of the variable display is increased until the end, and the second specific gaming state is determined by the specific gaming state type determining means. In such a case, after controlling to the second specific gaming state as the specific gaming state, the execution of variable display is controlled to the advantageous gaming state until completion of the second number of times (for example, 50 times), and the specific gaming state type When the third specific game state is determined by the determining means, the magnitude of the game value that can be acquired by the player as the specific game state is the second specific game. The game state control means for controlling to the advantageous game state until the execution of variable display is finished for a third number of times (for example, 20 times) less than the second number of times after controlling to the third specific gaming state that is the same as the state (For example, the part where the CPU 103 executes S211 and S212 of the jackpot end process)
When the first specific game state is determined by the specific game state type determining means, a specific effect (for example, a derivation display with a combination of “3” or “7” of the effect symbols) is executed, and the specific game state An effect common to the case where the second specific gaming state is determined by the type determining means and the case where the third specific gaming state is determined (for example, derivation display with a set of “6” or “8” of the effect symbols) ) For performing (for example, the portion where the CPU 120 for effect control executes S853 of the effect symbol variation stop process),
In the variable display means, identification information corresponding to the type of the specific gaming state is derived and displayed (for example, if the big hit type is a probable big hit A, the display pattern of pattern 0 is derived and displayed, and the big hit type is a non-probable big hit If it is A, any of the display symbols of pattern 7 to pattern 9 or pattern 18 is derived and displayed. If the big hit type is non-probable big hit B, any of the display symbols of pattern 10 to pattern 12 or pattern 19 is derived and displayed. )
The number of identification information corresponding to the first specific gaming state derived and displayed as a display result on the variable display means is the identification information corresponding to the second specific gaming state derived and displayed on the variable display means as a display result. And the number of pieces of identification information corresponding to the third specific gaming state derived and displayed as a display result on the variable display means (for example, a pattern of display symbols corresponding to the case where the big hit type is a probable big hit A (The number of display symbol patterns corresponding to the case where the big hit type is non-probable big hit A or non-probable big hit B is three).

  (8) For example, when the big hit type is a probable big hit A, the CPU 103 displays a special big hit A display symbol determination table (for the first special figure) or a probabilistic big hit A display symbol determination table in S156d or S156e of the special symbol normal processing. (Section 2) is selected, and the display symbol of pattern 0 is derived and displayed in S853 of the effect symbol variation stop process by uniquely determining the stop symbol as the display symbol of pattern 0 in S156f. As described above, since only one display symbol is derived and displayed as the display symbol corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A, it can be easily understood that the probability variation jackpot A is a jackpot game.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 that can obtain such an effect is configured as follows. Only one identification information is derived and displayed on the variable display means as the identification information corresponding to the first specific gaming state (for example, when the big hit type is a probable big hit A, the CPU 103 performs S156d of the special symbol normal process) Alternatively, in S156e, the probability variation big hit A display symbol determination table (for the first special symbol) or the probability variation big hit A display symbol determination table (for the second special symbol) is selected, and in S156f, the stop symbol is uniquely defined as the pattern 0 display symbol. Thus, the display symbol of pattern 0 is derived and displayed in S853 of the effect symbol fluctuation stop process).

  (9) For example, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, it is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbols corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit A by the number of display symbols corresponding to the non-probable big hit B. As described above, “1” is smaller than the value “about 1.333” obtained by dividing the number of determination values assigned to the non-probable variation big hit A by the number of determination values assigned to the non-probability big hit B, Even if the decision rate at which the probability variation big hit B and the non-probability variation big hit C are determined changes, the decision rate of the display symbol that is derived and displayed changes in conjunction with the change in the decision proportion of the probability variation big hit C and the non-probability variation big hit C. Since the rate of determination of the probability variation big hit B and the non-probable variation big hit C changes, either the big hit game of the probability variation big hit B or the big hit game of the non-probable big hit C from the displayed display pattern. Is there It can be prevented that becomes another is easy, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 that can obtain such an effect is configured as follows. Different numbers of determination values are assigned to the second specific gaming state and the third specific gaming state (for example, when the variation special figure is the first special figure, 61 to 80 in the non-probable variable big hit A) 20 decision values up to 15 are assigned, and 15 decision values from 81 to 95 are assigned to the non-probable big hit B).
The number of pieces of identification information corresponding to the second specific gaming state derived and displayed as a display result on the variable display means indicates the number of identification information corresponding to the third specific gaming state derived and displayed on the variable display means as a display result. The value divided by the number is smaller than the value obtained by dividing the number of determination values assigned to the second specific gaming state by the number of determination values assigned to the third specific gaming state (for example, a fluctuation characteristic). When the figure is the first special figure, “1”, which is a value obtained by dividing the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to non-probable variation big hit A by the number of display symbol patterns corresponding to non-probable variation big hit B, is non-probable variation big hit. A value obtained by dividing the number of judgment values assigned to A by the number of judgment values assigned to non-probable large hits B is smaller than “about 1.333”).

  (10) For example, when the big hit type is a non-probable big hit A, the display symbol derived and displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is any one of the patterns 7 to 9, and in the second special symbol display device 4B As described above, the display symbols that are derived and displayed are any one of pattern 7, pattern 8, and pattern 18, and different display symbols are derived and displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 that can obtain such an effect is configured as follows. The variable display means includes a first variable display means (for example, a first special symbol display device 4A) and a second variable display means (for example, a second special symbol display device 4B) different from the first variable display means. Including,
The identification information corresponding to the second specific gaming state or the third specific gaming state derived and displayed as a display result in the second variable display means is derived and displayed as a display result in the first variable display means. Different from the identification information corresponding to the 2 specific gaming state or the third specific gaming state (for example, when the big hit type is the non-probable big hit A, the display symbol derived and displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is the pattern 7 The display symbol derived from and displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is any one of the pattern 7, the pattern 8, and the pattern 18).

Next, modifications, feature points, and the like of the embodiment described above are listed below.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, the big hit gaming state is shown as an example of a plurality of types of advantageous gaming states to be subjected to a predetermined setting using a specific calculation. However, the advantageous gaming state is not limited to this. A small hit gaming state may be included. Since the game state such as the base state does not change after the small hit gaming state, when the small hit is a target to be set using a specific calculation, it does not change with the short-time control after the small hit gaming state ends. As for a table for selecting and determining a pattern, a first variation pattern selection table having a low selection ratio of a specific short variation pattern, which is used in a normal state (for example, a low probability low base state), is used as the first variation pattern selection table. The change pattern selection ratio is changed and used to change to the second fluctuation pattern selection table having a higher selection ratio of a specific short fluctuation pattern than that, and whether or not to change the change pattern is continued. The period may be set based on the specific calculation result.

  (2) As the gaming state in which the evaluation value x that is the first value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment is different, an example in which the base state is the high base state and the low base state is shown. However, the evaluation value x may be different depending on the jackpot probability between the high probability variation state and the low probability state.

  (3) As the gaming state in which the evaluation value x, which is the first value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is different, the evaluation value x may be different depending on the combination of the base state and the jackpot probability. For example, the evaluation value x may be different in the low accuracy low base state, the low accuracy high base state, the high accuracy low base state, and the high accuracy high base state.

  (4) As the gaming state in which the evaluation value x, which is the first value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is different, the duration of the probability variation state is defined by the number of special game after the end of the big hit gaming state. In the configuration, the evaluation value x may be varied depending on the remaining number of special figure games in the duration of the probability variation state. For example, the evaluation value x may be different between a state where the remaining number is 20 times or less, a state where the remaining number is 40 times or less, and a state where the remaining number is 60 times or less.

  (5) As a gaming state in which the evaluation value x that is the first value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment is different, the evaluation value x may be different between morning and afternoon in one day. Further, the evaluation value x may be varied depending on the day of the week. Also, the evaluation value x may be different depending on the month in the year (for example, different for each month. It is different for even months and odd months. It is different between January to June and July to December. ).

  (6) There are three types of advantageous gaming states in which the evaluation value y, which is the second value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is different: non-probable variation big hit, probability variation big hit, and sudden probability big hit. An example is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a small hit is included as an advantageous gaming state, the evaluation value y may be different for four types of non-probable big hit, probable big hit, sudden big hit and small hit.

  (7) Evaluation values for non-probability variable big hit A, non-probable variable big hit B, and non-probable variable big hit C as a plurality of types of advantageous gaming states in which the evaluation value y, which is the second value used for the specific calculation in the embodiment described above, is different By making y the same, and making the evaluation value y the same for the probability variation jackpot A, the probability variation jackpot B, and the probability variation jackpot C, the evaluation value y is made different between the non-probability variation jackpot group and the probability variation jackpot group. Also good.

  (8) The plurality of types of advantageous gaming states in which the evaluation value y, which is the second value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is different from non-probable large hits that do not change into probabilistic states after big hits, probable big hits, and sudden big hits. The evaluation value y may be made different in two types of probability variation big hits that are in a probable variation state after the big hit.

  (9) The plurality of types of advantageous gaming states in which the evaluation value y, which is the second value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is different from the big hit gaming state regardless of whether or not the probable change state occurs after the big hit. The evaluation value y may be varied depending on the difference in the maximum number of rounds.

  (10) As a plurality of types of advantageous gaming states in which the evaluation value y, which is the second value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is varied, the evaluation x value is varied depending on whether or not the probability variation state is reached after the big hit, In addition, the evaluation value y may be varied depending on the difference in the maximum number of rounds in the big hit gaming state.

  (11) As a plurality of types of advantageous gaming states in which the evaluation value y, which is the second value used in the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is different, a plurality of types of jackpots having different opening times in each round in the jackpot gaming state In the case of being included as an advantageous gaming state, in addition to the calculation method for changing the evaluation value y as described above, or in addition to the calculation method for changing the evaluation value y as described above, the opening time of each round The evaluation value y may be varied depending on the difference.

  (12) As a plurality of types of advantageous gaming states in which the evaluation value y, which is the second value used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment, is different, a plurality of types of big hits with different total opening times in all rounds of the big hit gaming state Is included as an advantageous gaming state, in addition to the calculation method for different evaluation value y as described above, or in addition to the calculation method for different evaluation value y as described above, The evaluation value y may be varied depending on the difference in the total opening time in the round.

  (13) The specific arithmetic expression used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment is not limited to addition, and other arithmetic expressions such as subtraction, multiplication, and division may be used. In addition, the specific arithmetic expression may be an arithmetic expression using three or more values in addition to the two values such as the evaluation value x and the evaluation value y. In that case, only addition may be performed for three or more values, or a combination of operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division may be performed for three or more values. Good (for example, combination of addition and subtraction, combination of addition and multiplication, combination of addition and division, combination of subtraction and addition, combination of subtraction and division, combination of addition, subtraction and multiplication, addition and Combinations of subtraction and division, combinations of subtraction, multiplication and division, combinations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, etc.).

  (14) The values (evaluation value x, evaluation value y) used for the specific calculation in the above-described embodiment may be different depending on the degree of advantage for the player. For example, the evaluation value may be increased as the degree of advantage to the player is higher, such as the evaluation value of 15 rounds is greater than that of 2 rounds. On the other hand, the evaluation value may be made smaller as the degree of advantage for the player is higher, such as the evaluation value is smaller for the 15th round probability variation big hit than the 2nd round sudden big hit. In this way, the value of the advantageous gaming state such as a big hit can be distinguished based on the magnitude relationship of the specific calculation results. Thereby, specific production control, such as changing production mode, can be performed based on a specific calculation result.

  (15) In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which a specific calculation is performed with respect to a special symbol jackpot, and a predetermined setting is made using the calculation result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a specific calculation may be performed with respect to a normal symbol hit, and a predetermined setting may be performed using the calculation result. For example, in a pachinko gaming machine in which a plurality of types of hits (advantageous game states) with different opening modes (for example, the number of times of opening, an opening time, etc.) of the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B at the time of hitting are provided for normal symbols, A specific calculation is performed using a specific calculation formula in which the type of winning is the first value and the second value is whether the time is short or not, and based on the result of the specific calculation, A predetermined setting for selecting and determining control items such as the opening pattern of the variable winning ball apparatus 6B and the variation time of the normal symbol may be made. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 having such a predetermined setting, whether or not the opening notification effect of the normal variable winning ball device 6B and the normal symbol variation display result are wins is determined for a specific display image such as roulette. When the suggestion effect suggested by the display mode is executed by the effect display device 5, these effects executed on the effect control board 12 side, the normal symbol variation display executed on the main board 11 side, and the normal variable In order to coordinate the operation with the opening control or the like of the winning ball apparatus 6B, for example, the execution of the control of the normal symbols such as the variation time of the normal symbol, the opening pattern of the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B, and the presence / absence of the suggestion effect, etc. An effect control command that can specify information may be transmitted from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, as an example of performing a specific calculation regarding the big hit of the special symbol and making a predetermined setting using the specific calculation result, a variation pattern, a big hit start presentation time, a big hit end presentation time, and An example of setting related to game control such as the number of short-time continuations was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and examples of performing the predetermined setting using the specific calculation result include matters related to effect control such as a notice effect (big hit notice effect), a reach effect, and a pseudo-continuous effect (effect control side) (Matter determined by lottery etc.) may be selected and set. In addition, as an example of performing a predetermined setting using a specific calculation result for a slot machine, an operation procedure that occurs on condition that AT (assuming assist time and reel deriving conditions (for example, stop order and stop timing) are satisfied) is satisfied. May be selected and determined for items related to effect control such as a lottery that gives a game state (items determined by lottery or the like on the effect control side).

  (17) As an example of using a specific arithmetic expression for the control of a pachinko gaming machine, when an arithmetic expression that uses two values, a first value and a second value, is employed, it corresponds to the gaming state. Instead of the value that can identify the base state described above as the second value, a value that can identify whether or not the state is the probability variation state may be used. In addition, in the case of adopting an arithmetic expression that uses three values of the first value, the second value, and the third value as a specific arithmetic expression for controlling the pachinko gaming machine, it corresponds to the gaming state. As the second value and the third value to be used, a value that can specify whether or not the time-short state is specified is used as the second value, and a value that can specify whether or not the probability variation state is specified is used as the third value. It may be used. In addition, when adopting an arithmetic expression that uses two values, the first value and the second value, as a specific arithmetic expression for controlling the slot machine, the second value corresponding to the gaming state A value that can specify whether or not the state is the AT state may be used. Also, as the second value corresponding to the gaming state, instead of the value that can specify whether or not the AT state is used, instead of the value that can specify the base state described above, RT (replay time is indicated) A value that can specify whether or not a specific winning (for example, a replay winning or a single bonus winning) is in a state where the probability of allowing the occurrence of a specific winning is increased may be used. Further, when an arithmetic expression using three values, ie, a first value, a second value, and a third value, is used as a specific arithmetic expression for controlling the slot machine, it corresponds to a gaming state. As the second value and the third value, a value that can specify whether or not the state is the AT state is used as the second value, and a value that can specify whether or not the state is the RT state is used as the third value. May be. Further, as a first value in the case of using a specific arithmetic expression for controlling the slot machine, it is given as a bonus on the game control side (control for determining whether to execute by determination of lottery or the like on the game control side) In addition to the advantageous gaming state as described above, it is given on the production control side (control for determining whether or not to execute by determination of lottery etc. on the production control side) whether or not the production suggests an advantageous gaming state (advantageous) A value that can specify the type of gaming state) may be used. For example, a value that can specify whether or not a predetermined effect is drawn to determine whether or not to execute on the effect control side during the freeze period on the game control side and to make it appear that a predetermined advantageous gaming state continues. May be used as the first value of the specific arithmetic expression. As an example, the effect control side decides whether or not to add according to the establishment of the predetermined condition, and executes the AT state or RT state addition effect control (so that the duration of the AT state or RT state increases in an additional manner) A value that can specify whether or not an effect to be shown) is being executed may be used as the first value of the specific arithmetic expression. In addition, as a first value when a specific arithmetic expression is used for controlling the slot machine, a value that can specify whether or not a predetermined small combination has occurred may be used.

  (18) In order to notify the effect control CPU 120 of the change pattern indicating the change mode such as the change time and the type of reach effect, an example is shown in which one change pattern designation command is transmitted when the change is started. The variation pattern may be notified to the effect control CPU 120 by two or more commands. Specifically, in the case of notifying by two commands, the CPU 103 uses the first command, for example, the presence or absence of a pseudo-ream, the presence / absence of a slip effect, etc. before reaching reach (if the reach is not reached, the so-called second stop. The command indicating the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode is sent before and after the reach of the second command, such as the type of reach and the presence / absence of a re-lottery effect. You may transmit the command which shows the fluctuation | variation time and fluctuation | variation aspect of the latter. In this case, the effect control CPU 120 may perform effect control in variable display based on the variable time derived from the combination of two commands.

  (19) The CPU 103 may notify the change time by each of the two commands, and the effect control CPU 120 may select a specific change mode to be executed at each timing. When two commands are sent, the two commands may be transmitted within the same timer interrupt. After the first command is transmitted, a predetermined period elapses (for example, the next timer interrupt). The second command may be transmitted. Note that the variation mode indicated by each command is not limited to this example, and the order of transmission can be appropriately changed. Thus, by notifying the variation pattern by two or more commands, the amount of data that must be stored as the variation pattern designation command can be reduced.

  (20) In the above embodiment, when the big hit type is the probable big hit A, the display symbol of pattern 0 is determined as a stop symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. In the case where the big hit type is other than the probable big hit A, the form of determining the stop symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B from the display symbols of the three patterns is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the jackpot type is a probabilistic jackpot A, the number of display symbols to be determined as a stop symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B Display symbol pattern to be determined as a stop symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B when it is other than the probable big hit A It may be a minority than.

  (21) In the above embodiment, when the big hit type is the probable big hit A, the display symbol of pattern 0 is determined as a stop symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. In the case where the big hit type is other than the probable big hit A, the form of determining the stop symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B from the display symbols of the three patterns is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of display symbol patterns determined as a stop symbol derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B when the big hit type is other than the probable big hit A is the big hit type Display symbol pattern determined as a stop symbol to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B when is a probable big hit A It may be a large number than.

  (22) In the above embodiment, as segments provided in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, seven segments A to G that can display numbers and symbols and decimal points (dots) are shown. Although the arrangement example of the segment H was illustrated, it is not restricted to this, For example, as shown in FIG. 41 as the modification 1, the dot-shaped segment A-to the 1st special symbol display apparatus 4A and the 2nd special symbol display apparatus 4B is shown. H may be arranged linearly. Even when the segments A to H are linearly arranged on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B as described above, as shown in FIGS. The output data may be output from and the display symbols of each pattern may be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. In addition, when the segments A to H are linearly arranged in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B in this way, as shown in FIGS. The difference between the pattern 2 and the pattern 5 may be that it is difficult for the player to distinguish the display symbols of the pattern 2 and the pattern 5 by only determining whether or not the segment H is lit. For example, FIG. 43 and FIG. As shown in 45, the display pattern of the pattern 2 and the pattern 5 may be made difficult for the player to discriminate by using the display pattern of the pattern 5 by shifting the segments lit in the pattern 2 to the left one by one.

  (23) In the embodiment described above, a part of the display pattern of the pattern that is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the pattern of the pattern that is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B However, the display pattern of the pattern derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the display pattern of the pattern derived and displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are all the same. Good or all may be different.

  (24) In the above-described embodiment, the first special symbol display device is configured by changing a part of the output data output by the CPU 103 depending on whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. Although the display pattern of a part of the display pattern of the pattern derived and displayed on 4A and the display pattern of the pattern derived and displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. In the wiring extending from the substrate 11 to the first special symbol display device 4A and the wiring extending to the second special symbol display device 4B, the connection destination segment of the wiring in the second special symbol display device 4B is the wiring in the first special symbol display device 4A. Different from the connection destination segment, the same output data is output from the CPU 103 to the first special symbol display device 4A regardless of the fluctuation special figure. The display symbol of the pattern to be displayed may be different from the display symbol of the pattern to be derived and displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B, and in this way, the first special symbol display device as in the above embodiment. There is no need to newly provide different display symbols for the display symbol derived and displayed in 4A and the display symbol derived and displayed in the second special symbol, and the data amount of the display symbol stored in advance can be suppressed. Further, depending on whether the variation special chart is the first special figure or the second special figure, a part of the output data output by the CPU 103 is varied, and the connection destination of the wiring in the second special symbol display device 4B is changed. By making the segment different from the segment to which the wiring is connected in the first special symbol display device 4A, the display symbol of the pattern derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the pattern derived and displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B The display pattern may be different.

In this example, it is difficult to specify whether the big hit type is the non-probable big hit A or the non-probable big hit B by deriving and displaying the combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, “1” to “ It may be difficult to specify whether the big hit type is non-probable big hit A or non-probable big hit B by deriving and displaying a combination of effect symbols having special symbols different from numbers such as “9”.

  (26) In the above embodiment, when the big hit type is the non-probable variation big hit A and the non-probable big hit B, the production symbols in which the 3 symbols are arranged as “6” or “8” as stop symbols in the production display device 5. In this example, it is difficult to specify whether the big hit type is the non-probable big hit A or the non-probable big hit B. However, the present invention is not limited to this. ”Effect symbol display area 5C derived and displayed) on the right symbol (“ right ”effect symbol display area 5R for effect symbol display) and left symbol (“ left ”effect symbol display area 5L) It may be difficult to determine whether the big hit type is the non-probability variable big hit A or the non-probable big hit B, by deriving and displaying a special symbol different from the derived display).

  (27) In the above embodiment, when the big hit type is the non-probable big hit A and the non-probable big hit B, the effect symbols that the three symbols are aligned as “6” or “8” as stop symbols in the effect display device 5 In this example, it is difficult to specify whether the big hit type is a non-probable variable big hit A or a non-probable big hit B. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the case of the probable big hit B, the big hit type can be obtained by emitting the same sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R or the same color of the game effect lamp 9 while the special symbol is being displayed or when the stop symbol is derived and displayed. It may be difficult to specify whether or not is a non-probable variation big hit A or non-probable variation big hit B.

  (28) In the above embodiment, one pattern display symbol (display symbol of pattern 0) is assigned to the probability variation big hit A as a display symbol derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. By assigning display patterns of three patterns as display symbols to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B to the big hit types other than the probable big hit A, the display symbols to be stored in advance Although an example of reducing the capacity is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the display pattern of the same pattern (the display pattern of pattern 0) is assigned to all the judgment values assigned to the probability variation big hit A and assigned to the probability variation big hit B. By assigning any one of the patterns 1 to 3 to all of the determination values that have been set, the capacity of the display symbol to be stored in advance is reduced. By not illusion, so easily performed to confirm the display symbol assigned to probability variation jackpot A and probability variation jackpot B during debugging, may be efficiently performed so the debugging.

  (29) Further, in the above embodiment, a display pattern of one pattern (table / E display of pattern 0) as a display symbol derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B at the probability variation jackpot A By assigning three display symbols as display symbols to be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B for the jackpot type other than the probability variation jackpot A Although the form which reduces the capacity | capacitance of the display symbol to keep was illustrated, it is not restricted to this, For example, the display symbol of the same pattern (display symbol of the pattern 0) is allocated to all the judgment values allocated to the probability variation big hit A, By assigning an individual display symbol to each of the judgments assigned to the probability variation jackpot B, if the jackpot type is the probability variation jackpot A, the first special symbol display The display symbol of pattern 0 is derived and displayed on the display symbol derived and displayed on the device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, so that it is easy to understand that the big hit type is the probable big hit A, while the big hit type is the probable big hit. In the case of B, one of the individual display symbols assigned to each of the determination values is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, so that the big hit type is a probabilistic big hit B It may be more difficult to specify whether or not.

  (30) In the above embodiment, the probability variation big hit A is the first specific gaming state, the non-probability variation big hit A is the second specific gaming state, the non-probable variation big hit B is the third specific gaming state, and the big hit type is the non-probable variation big hit A or In the case of the non-probable big hit B, the probable big hit B, the probable big hit C, or the non-probable big hit C, a display symbol that is difficult for the player to specify is displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display. While the derivation display is performed on the device 4B and the effect symbols are derived and displayed on the effect display device 5 with the same number set, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability change big hit B and the third specific game which are the second specific game state are not limited thereto. The display symbols that are difficult for the player to specify only at the non-probable big hit C that is in the state are derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and are also displayed on the effect display device 5. The effect symbols are derived and displayed with the same set of numbers, and the big hit type (probability big hit B, probability variable big hit C, non-probable big big hit) that is neither the first specific gaming state, the second specific gaming state, nor the third specific gaming state In (C), different display symbols may be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and the effect symbols may be derived and displayed on the effect display device 5 with different numbers. .
